Waiting For A Train

Lyrics

All around the water tank A-waiting for a train I'm a thousand miles away from home Sleeping in the rain I walked up to the brakeman Just to give him a line of talk Well he said if you've got money I'll see that you don't walk Well I haven't got a nickel Not one penny can I show Get off, get off you railroad bum And he slammed the boxcar door They put me off in Texas A place I dearly love Wide open spaces all around me And the moon and stars above Nobody seems to want me Nor to lend me a helping hand I'm on my way from Frisco Going back to Dixie Land My pocketbook is empty And my heart is filled with pain I'm a thousand miles away from home Just a-waiting for a train
