All around the water tank waiting for a train
|
A thousand miles away from home standing in the rain
|
I walked up to a brakeman to hand him a line of talk
|
He says if you've got money Bill 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 a state I dearly love
|
The wide open spaces all around me the moon and stars above
|
Nobody seems to want me or lend me a helping hand
|
I'm on my way from Frisco going back to Dixieland
|
My pocketbook is empty and my heart is full of pain
|
I'm a thousand miles away from home just a waiting for a train
|
