WAITING FOR A TRAIN (Jimmie Rodgers, 1929) 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 says, "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 boxcar 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 Dixie land. 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) @hobo @train filename[ DANVILL3 JD |
