All around the water tank waitin' for a train
A thousand miles away from home sleepin' in the rain
I walked up to a brake-man 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 get off, you railroad bum", and he slammed the boxcar door
He put me off in Texas the place I dearly love
The wide open spaces all around me, the moon and stars above
Nobody seems to want me or to lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way from 'Frisco I'm going 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 going 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
