Waiting for a Train |
| All around the water tank |
| Waitin’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 money |
| I’ll see that you don’t walk. |
| I haven’t got a nickle |
| Not a penny can I show |
| He said get off you railroad bum |
| And slammed the boxcar door. |
| Oh la-ee, oh la-ee, oh la-ee |
| Oh la-ee, oh la-ee, oh. |
| He put me off in Texas |
| A place I surely love |
| Wide open spaces 'round me The moon and stars above. |
| Nobody seems to want me Or lend me a helping hand |
| I’m on my way from 'Frisco |
| Goin’back to Dixieland. |
| My pocketbook is empty |
| And my heart is filled with pain |
| I’m a thousand miles away from home |
| Just waiting for a train. |
| Oh la-ee, oh la-ee, oh la-ee |
| Oh la-ee, oh la-ee, oh. |
