All Around the Watertank (Waiting for a Train)

Lyrics

All around the watertank Waitin' for a train I'm a thousand miles away from home Sleeping in the rain I walked up to a brakeman Just to make a line of talk He said, "Son if you've got money" "I'll see that you don't walk" Well, I haven't got a nickel Not a penny can I show Well, get off, get off, you railroad bum He slammed the boxcar door Well, he put me off in Texas A state I dearly love Wide open spaces all around me, Lord The moon and stars above My pocketbook is empty My old heart is filled with pain I'm a thousand miles away from home And I'm waitin' for a train
