MiscellaneousWaiting for a Train lyrics by Various Artists
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
Just to give him a line of talk
He said "If you got money, boy
I'll see that you don't walk"
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
I'd put me off in Texas
A place I dearly love
Wide open spaces around me
I told moon and the stars up above
Nobody seems to want me
Or give me a helping hand
I'm on my way from Frisco
I'm going back to Dixieland
My pocket book is empty
And my heart is full of pain
I'm a thousand miles away
From home waiting for a train
