Waiting For A Train

Lyrics

[Verse 1] All around the water tank, waiting for a train A thousand miles away from home, sleeping in the rain I walked up to a brakeman to give him a line of talk He said, "If you've got money, I'll see that you don't walk" I haven't got a nickel, not a penny can I show "Get off, get off, you railroad bum," and he slammed the boxcar door [Verse 2] Well, he put me off in Texas, that's a place I dearly love With the wide open spaces all around me, the moon and stars above Nobody seems to want me or lend me a helping hand I'm on my way from Frisco, going back to Dixieland My pocketbook is empty, my heart is full of pain I'm a thousand miles away from home, just waiting for a train
