lyrics

=================================================

All around the water tanks
Waitin' for a train
A thousand miles away from home
Sleepin' in the rain
I walked up to a brakeman
To give him a line of talk
He said, "If you've 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!"
And 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 & stars up above
Nobody seems to want me
Or lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way from Frisco
Goin' back to Dixieland
Though my pocket book is empty
And my heart is full of pain
I'm a thousand miles away from home
Just waitin' for a train

. . .
