All around the water tank waiting for a trainA thousand miles away from home sleeping in the rainI walked up to a brakeman gave him a line of talkHe said if you've got money boy I'll see that you don't walkI haven't got a nickel not a penny can I showGet off get off you railroad bum and he slammed the boxcar doorHe put me off in Texas a state I dearly loveThe wide open spaces all around me the moon and stars up aboveNobody seems to want me or to lend me a helping handI'm on my way from Frisco going back to Dixie LandThough my pocketbook is empty and my heart is full of painI'm a thousand miles away from home just a waiting for a train From Letras Mania
