Waiting for a Train 
 
Jimmie Rodgers / Poutníci 
 
 
 
 
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 to give him a line of talk 
 
He said if you've 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 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 stars up above 
 
Nobody seems to want me or to lend me a helping hand 
 
I'm on my way from Frisco going back to Dixie Land 
 
Though 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
