Waiting for a Train

All around the water tank waitin' for a train A thousand miles away from home sleepin' in the rain I walked up to a brakeman to give him a line of talk He said 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 Get off get off you railroad bum and he slammed the boxcar door He put me off in Texas it's a place I dearly love With the wide open spaces all around me and the moon and stars up above Nobody seems to want me or lend me a helpin' hand I'm on my way from Frisco goin' back to Dixie Land My pocketbook is empty and my heart is full of pain I'm a thousand miles away from home just a waitin' for a train
