Jimmie Rodgers Waiting For A Train
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 Fsays "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
He said Get off you Railroad Bum
And he slammed the box car door
(yodel)
He put me off in Texas
A place I surely love
Wide open spaces 'round me
The Moon and Stars above
Nobody seems to want me
or Lend me a helping Hand
I'm On my Way from Frisco
Goin back to Dixieland
My pocket book is empty
And my heart is filled with pain
I'm a thousand Miles away from home
Just Waiting for a train
(yodel)
