Waiting for a Train

歌詞

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
