Lyrics

[00:09.693] All around the water tank
[00:14.057] Waiting for a train
[00:18.138] A thousand miles away from home
[00:22.508] Sleeping in the rain
[00:26.919] I walked up to a brakeman
[00:31.285] To give him a line of talk
[00:35.372] He says, "If you've got the money
[00:39.471] I'll see that you don't walk"
[00:44.317] I haven't got a nickel
[00:48.405] Not a penny can I show
[00:52.759] "Get off, get off, you railroad bum"
[00:57.107] He slammed the boxcar door
[01:40.343] He put me off in Texas
[01:44.736] A state, I dearly love
[01:49.062] The wide open spaces all around me
[01:53.432] The moon and stars up above
[01:57.518] Nobody seems to want me
[02:02.121] Or lend me a helping hand
[02:06.179] I'm on my way from Frisco
[02:10.518] I'm going to Dixie Land
[02:14.892] Though my pocketbook is empty
[02:19.240] My heart is full of pain
[02:23.340] I'm a thousand miles away from home
[02:27.957] Just waiting for a train
