Waiting For A Train Lyrics

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 nickel, not a penny can I show" He said, "Get off you railroad bum", and slammed the boxcar door
He put me off in Texas, a place I truly love Wide open spaces 'round me, the moon and stars above Nobody seems to want me or to lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way to Frisco going back to Dixie Land My pocketbook is empty and my heart is filled with pain I'm a thousand miles away from home just waitin' for a train
