Waiting For A Train Lyrics - Hank Snow

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 gave him a line of talk 

He said if you've got money boy I'll see that you don't walk 

I haven't got a nickel not a penny can I show 

Get off get off you railroad bum and he slammed the boxcar door 

He put me off in Texas a state I dearly love 

The wide open spaces all around me the moon and stars up above 

Nobody seems to want me or to lend me a helping hand 

I'm on my way from Frisco going back to Dixie Land 

Though my pocketbook is empty and my heart is full of pain 

I'm a thousand miles away from home just a waiting for a train
