Waiting For A Train Lyrics

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)
