All around the water tank a waitin' for a train
|
I'm a thousand miles away from home sleeping in the rain
|
I walked up to the brakeman just to give him a line of talk
|
But he said if you've got money I'll see that you don't walk
|
Well I haven't got a nickel not one penny can I show
|
Get off get off you railroad bum and he slammed the boxcar door
|
[ dobro ]
|
They put me off in Texas a place I dearly love
|
The wide open spaces all around me and the moon and stars above
|
Nobody seems to want me nor to lend me a helping hand
|
I'm on my way from Frisco going back to Dixie Land
|
Yes my pocketbook is empty and my heart is filled with pain
|
I'm a thousand miles away from home just a waitin' for a train (yodel)
