Waiting For A Train
J WAKLEY
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 to
Give him a line of talk
He says: If you?ve got money
I?ll see that you don?t walk
I haven?t got a nickel
Not a penny can I show he said: Get off
You railroad bum and slammed the boxcar door
He put me off in Texas, a place I surely love
Wide open spaces?round me
The moon and stars above
Nobody seems to want me or
Lend me a helping hand
I?m on my way from Frisco
Goin? back to Dixie Land
My pocket book is empty and my
Heart is filled with pain
I?m a 1000 miles away from home
Just waiting for a train
