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
'Get Off, Get Off, You Railroad Bum' And 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 The Stars Up Above
Nobody Seems To Want Me, Or Lend Me A Helping Hand
I'm On My Way From Frisco, Going Back To Dixieland
My Pocket Book Is Empty And My Heart Is Full Of Pain
I'm A Thousand Miles Away From Home Just Waiting For A Train
