Don Williams - Waiting For A Train lyrics

WRITER JIMMIE RODGERS All around the water tank Waitin' for a train A thousand miles away from home Sleepin' in the rain I walked up to a brakeman Just to give him a line of talk He says if you've got money boy I'll see that you don't walk Well I have'nt got a nickle Not a penny can I show Get off, get off you railroad bum And he slammed the boxcar door Well 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 to lend me a helping hand I'm on my way from 'Frisco Goin' back to Dixieland Oh my pocketbook is empty And my heart is full of pain I'm a thousand miles away from home Waitin' for a train
