F    C7       F          F7
All Around the Water Tank

Waiting For a Train
    Bb                      F    Dm
A thousand Miles Away From Home
G7             C7
Sleeping in the Rain
   

F                C7   F
I walked Up to a brakeman
F7 Bb                Bbm   F
To Give Him A Line of Talk
    Bb                  F
He says "If you've got Money
       G7          C7    F
I'll see that you don't walk"
            C7       F
I haven't got a nickel
F7    Bb             A7
Not a penny can I show
    Bb                   F
He said Get off you Railroad Bum
         G7                  C7    F
And he slammed the box car door

C7 F          C7 F
He put me off in Texas
F7 Bb    Bbm    F
A place I surely love
       Bb                   F
Wide open spaces 'round me
      G7                   C7
The Moon and Stars above
    F    C7                F
Nobody seems to want me
F7 Bb                Bbm   F
or Lend me a helping Hand
      Bb                     F
I'm On my Way from Frisco
       G7         C7      F
Goin back to Dixieland
                C7       F
My pocket book is empty

And my heart is filled with pain
       Bb                        F
I'm a thousand Miles away from home
       G7          C7 F
Just Waiting for a train
