Lyrics:

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
just To Give Him A Line Of Talk
he Said 'if You Got Money, Boy
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 He Slammed The Boxcar Door

i'd Put Me Off In Texas
a Place I Dearly Love
wide Open Spaces Around Me
i Told Moon And The Stars Up Above

nobody Seems To Want Me
or Give Me A Helping Hand
i'm On My Way From Frisco
i'm Going Back To Dixieland

my Pocket Book Is Empty
and My Heart Is Full Of Pain
i'm A Thousand Miles Away
from Home Waiting For A Train
