Waiting For A Train

Lyrics

All around the water tank, a-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 says "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" He slammed the boxcar door" He put me off in Texas, a state I dearly love The wide open spaces all around me, the moon and stars up above Don't nobody seems to want me or lend me a helping hand I'm on my way from Frisco, I'm goin' back to Dixie Land Though my pocket book is empty and my heart is full of pain I'm a thousand miles away from home just waiting for a train
