Jimmie Rodgers - Waiting For A Train Lyrics
All around the water tank, waiting for a trainA thousand miles away from home, sleeping in the rainI walked up to a brakeman just to give him a line of talkHe said "If you got money, boy, I'll see that you don't walkI haven't got a nickel, not a penny can I show"Get off, get off, you railroad bum" and slammed the boxcar doorHe put me off in Texas, a state I dearly loveThe wide open spaces all around me, the moon and the stars up aboveNobody seems to want me, or lend me a helping handI'm on my way from Frisco, going back to DixielandMy pocket book is empty and my heart is full of painI'm a thousand miles away from home just waiting for a train
