Waiting For A Train - 2011 Remastered Version
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 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' and 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, going back to Dixieland My pocket book is empty and my heart is full of pain I'm a thousand miles away from home waiting for a train
