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 Gave Him A Line Of Talk

He Said If You've Got Money Boy I'll See That You Don't Walk

I Haven't Got A Nickel Not A Penny Can I Show

Get Off Get Off You Railroad Bum And He Slammed The Boxcar Door

He Put Me Off In Texas A State I Dearly Love

The Wide Open Spaces All Around Me The Moon And Stars Up Above

Nobody Seems To Want Me Or To Lend Me A Helping Hand

I'm On My Way From Frisco Going Back To Dixie Land

Though My Pocketbook Is Empty And My Heart Is Full Of Pain

I'm A Thousand Miles Away From Home Just A Waiting For A Train
