Waiting For A Train — текст песни (Dave Dudley)

All around the water tank waitin` for a train
A thousand miles away from home sleepin` in the rain
I walked up to a brakeman to give him a line of talk
He said 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
Get off get off you railroad bum and he slammed the boxcar door
[ guitar ]
He put me off in Texas it`s a place I dearly love
With the wide open spaces all around me and the moon and stars up above
Nobody seems to want me or lend me a helpin` hand
I`m on my way from Frisco goin` back to Dixie Land
My pocketbook is empty and my heart is full of pain
I`m a thousand miles away from home just a waitin` for a train
