All around the water tank Awaiting for a train Im a thousand miles away from home Sleeping in the rain I walked up to the brakeman Just to give him a line of talk Well he said if youve got money Ill see that you dont walk Well I havent got a nickel Not one penny can I show Get off, get off you railroad bum And he slammed the boxcar door They put me off in Texas A place I dearly love Wide open spaces all around me And the moon and stars above Nobody seems to want me Nor to lend me a helping hand Im on my way from Frisco Going back to Dixie Land My pocketbook is empty And my heart is filled with pain Im a thousand miles away from home Just awaiting for a trainYou might also like
