Billy Walker Waiting For A Train Lyrics

Waiting For A Train Lyrics

All around the water tank waiting for a train



A thousand miles away from home standing in the rain



I walked up to a brakeman to hand him a line of talk



He says if you've got money Bill I'll see that you don't walk



I haven't got a nickel not a penny can I show



Get off get off you railroad bum and he slammed the boxcar door







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 or lend me a helping hand



I'm on my way from Frisco going back to Dixieland



My pocketbook is empty and my heart is full of pain



I'm a thousand miles away from home just a waiting for a train
