Il testo della Waiting for a train

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 i'll see that you don't walk
Well i haven't got a nickel not a penny can i show
He said get off you railroad bum and he slammed the boxcar door

Well he put me off in texas a place i dearly love
The wide open spaces all around me the moon and stars above
Nobody seems to want me nor to lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way from frisco headin' back to dixie land
My pocketbook is empty my heart is willed with pain
I'm a thousand miles away from home just waitin' for a train
