Waiting for a Train Lyrics
All around the water tank waitin' 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
He said get off you railroad bum and slammed the boxcar door
He put me off in Texas a place I truly love
Wide open spaces round me the moon and stars above
Nobody seems to want me or to lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way to 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 waitin' 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
I haven't got a nickel not a penny can I show
He said get off you railroad bum and slammed the boxcar door
Wide open spaces round me the moon and stars above
Nobody seems to want me or to lend me a helping hand
My pocketbook is empty and my heart is filled with pain
I'm a thousand miles away from home just waitin' for a train
