Lyrics of Waiting for a train

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 gave 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
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 and stars up above
Nobody seems to want me or to lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way from frisco going back to dixie land
Though my pocketbook is empty and my heart is full of pain
I'm a thousand miles away from home just a waiting for a train
