All around the water tank
Waitin' for a train
A thousand miles away from home
Sleepin' in the rain
I walked up to a brakeman
To give him a line of talk
He said if you've got money
I'll see that you don't walk.
I haven't got a nickel
Not a penny can I show
"Get off, you railroad b__"
And he slammed that boxcar door.

He put me off in Texas
The place I dearly love
Wide open s___es
All around me
The moon and stars up above
Nobody seems to want me
Or to lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way from Frisco
I'm goin' back to Dixieland
Though my pocketbook is empty
And my heart is full of pain
I'm a thousand miles away from home
Waitin' for a train.

Nobody seems to want me
Or to lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way from Frisco
I'm goin' back to Dixieland
Though my pocketbook is empty
And my heart is full of pain
I'm a thousand miles away from home
Waitin' for a train.
