Waiting for a Train

Lyrics

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 says "If you've got the money
 I'll see that you don't walk"
 I haven't got a nickel
 Not a penny I can 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
 Nobody seems to want me
 Or lend me a helping hand
 I'm on my way from Frisco
 I'm going to Dixie land
 Though my pocketbook is empty
 And my heart is full of pain
 I'm a thousand miles away from home
 Just waiting for a train
