Waiting For A Train

All around the water tank waitin 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 youve got money Ill see that you dont walk
Well I havent got a nickel not a penny can I show
He said get off you railroad bum and he slammed the boxcar door
Well he put me off in Texas a place I dearly love
The wide open spaces all around me the moon and stars above
Nobody seems to want me or to lend me a helping hand
Im on my way from Frisco headin back to Dixie land
My pocket book is empty my heart is full of pain
Im a thousand miles away from home waitin for a train
