Letra
[Verse 1]
All around the water tank
Waiting for a train
A thousand miles away from home
Sleeping in the rain
[Verse 2]
I walked up to the brakeman
And gave him a line of talk
He says, if you've got your money
I'll see that you don't walk
[Verse 3]
Well, I haven't got a nickel
Not a penny I can show
Said, get off, get off, you railroad bum
And he slammed the boxcar door
[Verse 4]
Oh
He put me off in Texas
That's a place I love
Wide open spaces all around me
Moon and stars above
[Verse 5]
Nobody seems to want me
Oh lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way from Frisco
Goin' back to Dixieland
[Verse 6]
But my pocketbook is empty
And my heart is filled with pain
I'm a thousand miles away from you
Just waiting for a train
