Waiting For a Train lyrics

All around the water tank waiting 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 one penny can I show Get off get off you railroad bum and he slammed the boxcar door [ steel ] They 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 nor to lend me a helping hand I'm on my way from Frisco going back to Dixieland My pocketbook is empty my heart is full of pain I'm a thousand miles away from home waiting for a train
