[ti:]
[ar:]
[al:]
[00:10.00] All around the water tank
[00:14.04] Waiting for a train
[00:17.96] A thousand miles away from home
[00:22.50] Sleeping in the rain
[00:26.58] I walked up to a brakeman
[00:31.06] To give him a line of talk
[00:35.50] He says, "If you've got the money
[00:39.38] I'll see that you don't walk"
[00:44.02] I haven't got a nickel
[00:48.15] Not a penny can I show
[00:52.29] "Get off, get off, you railroad bum"
[00:57.07] He slammed the boxcar door
[01:40.55] He put me off in Texas
[01:44.73] A state, I dearly love
[01:49.01] The wide open spaces all around me
[01:53.34] The moon and stars up above
[01:57.53] Nobody seems to want me
[02:01.51] Or lend me a helping hand
[02:06.75] I'm on my way from Frisco
[02:10.54] I'm going to Dixie Land
[02:14.92] Though my pocketbook is empty
[02:18.95] My heart is full of pain
[02:23.18] I'm a thousand miles away from home
[02:27.82] Just waiting for a train
