Waitin` For A Train Lyrics

Waitin` For A Train lyrics

All around the water tank

Leakin’ in the rain

A thousand miles away from home

Waitin’ for a train



I went up to the brakeman

Asked for a line of talk

He said If you got money man

I will see that you don’t walk



I haven’t got a nickel

Not a penny can I show

Get of get off you railroad bum

And he slammed the boxcar door.



Put me off in Texas 

Place I dearly love

Wide open spaces around me

Moon and stars up above



There’s no one seem to care me

Either lend me a helpin’ hand

I’m on my way from Frisco

I’m goin’ back to Dixieland



My pocketbook is empty

And my heart is full of pain

A thousand miles away from home

Waitin’ for a train.
