All around the watertank a waitin' for a train
A thousand miles away from home sleeping in the rain
I walked up to the brakeman to pass a line of talk
He said if you've got money son I'll see that you don't walk
I didn't have a nickel not a penny could I show
Get off get off you railroad bum and he slammed the boxcar door
[ harmonica ]
Well they let me off in Texas the state a lotta folks love
The wide open spaces all around me the moon and stars up above
But no one seemed to want me Lord or to lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way from Frisco hey going back to Dixie Land
Yes my pocketbook is empty and my heart is filled with pain
I'm a thousand miles away from home waiting for a train
[ harmonica - guitar ]
Well they let me off in Texas the state I dearly love
The wide open spaces all around me the moon and stars up above
But no one seemed to want me Lord or to lend me a helping hand
I'm a thousand miles away from home waiting for a train
