Songtext von 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 nickel not a penny can I show He said get off you railroad bum and slammed the boxcar door [ steel ] 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
