Waiting For A Train

All around the water tower
 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 said if you've got money
 You won't have to walk
 Well, I haven't got a nickel
 Not a penny can I show
 Get off, get off you railroad bum
 And he slammed that boxcar door
 Well, he put me off in Texas
 A state I dearly love
 Wide open spaces all around me
 The moon and stars up above
 Nobody seems to want me
 Or give me a helping hand
 I'm on my way from Frisco
 Going back to Dixieland
 My pocketbook is empty
 An' my heart is full of pain
 A thousand miles away from home
 Waiting for a train
 I'm a thousand miles away from home
 Waiting for a train
