Waiting For A Train Lyrics

WRITER JIMMIE RODGERS
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 Just to give him a line of talk He says if you've got money boy I'll see that you don't walk
Well I have'nt got a nickle Not a penny can I show Get off, get off you railroad bum And he slammed the boxcar door
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/waiting-for-a-train-lyrics-don-williams.html ] Well he put me off in Texas A state I dearly love The wide open spaces all around me The moon and the stars up above
Nobody seems to want me Or to lend me a helping hand I'm on my way from 'Frisco Goin' back to Dixieland
Oh my pocketbook is empty And my heart is full of pain I'm a thousand miles away from home Waitin' for a train
