Waiting For A Train
Jimmie Rodgers

[Verse 1]

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 just to give him a line of talk

He said If you got money, boy, I'll see that you don't walk

I haven't got a nickel, not a penny can I show

Get off, get off, you railroad bum and slammed the boxcar door


[Verse 2]

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 lend me a helping hand

I'm on my way from Frisco, going back to Dixieland

My pocket book is empty and my heart is full of pain

I'm a thousand miles away from home just waiting for a train
