Waiting For A Train

Lyrics

This song was first released on the All Aboard! album. It is the only album it has been released on.
 All around the water tower
 Waiting for a train
 A thousand miles away from home
 Sleeping in the rain I walked up to a brakeman
 Just to give him a line of talk
 He said if you've got money
 I'll see that you don't walk
 Well I haven't got a nickel
 Not a penny can 1 show
 Get off, get off you railroad bum
 And he slammed that boxcar door
 Well, 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
 Nor to lend me a helping hand
 I'm on my way from Frisco
 Going back to Dixieland
 My pocketbook is empty
 My heart is full of pain
 I'm a thousand miles away from home
 Just waiting for a train
