Waiting for a Train - Jimmie Rodgers
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
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
He slammed the boxcar door
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
I'm 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
