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
|
[ guitar ]
|
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
|
