All around the water tank, waitin' for a train |
|
A thousand miles away from home, sleeping in the rain |
|
I walked up to a brakeman, just to give him a line of talk |
|
He said, if you've got money, |
|
I'll see that you don't walk |
|
Well, I haven't got a nickel, not a penny, can |
|
I showHe said, "Get off you railroad bum", and he slammed the boxcar door |
|
Well, he put me off in |
|
Texas, a state, |
|
I dearly love |
|
The wide open spaces all around me, the moon and stars above |
|
Nobody seems to want me, nor to lend me a helping hand |
|
I'm on my way from |
|
Frisco headin' back to |
|
Dixie Land |
|
My pocketbook is empty my heart is full of pain |
|
I'm a thousand miles away from home, waitin' for a train |
