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 you've got money, boy
I'll see that you don't walk
I haven't got a nickel
Not a penny can I show
He said get off you railroad bum
And he slammed that boxcar door
I put me off in Texas
A place I dearly love
The wide open spaces around me
That old moon, and stars above
Nobody seems to want me
A give lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way from Frisco
Going back to Dixie Land
My pocketbook is empty
And my heart is filled with pain
I'm a thousand miles away from home
Waitin' for a train
