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 |
| He slammed the boxcar door |
| --- Instrumental --- |
| 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 |
| Or lend me a helping hand |
| I’m on my way from Frisco |
| Goin' back to Dixie Land |
| My pocketbook is empty |
| My heart is full of pain |
| I’m a thousand miles away from home |
| Waitin' for a train… |
