Waiting for a Train

All around the water tower Waiting for a train Thousand miles away from home Sleeping in the rain I walked up to a brakeman Just to give him a line of talk He said if you?ve got money I?ll see that you don?t walk Well, I haven?t got a nickel Not a penny can I show Get off, get off you, railroad bum He slammed that boxcar door Well, he 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 Just waiting for a train
