Waiting For A Train — текст песни (Rodgers, Jimmie)

All around the water tank
Waitin` 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 nickle
Not a penny can I show
He said get off you railroad bum
And slammed the boxcar door.
Oh la-ee, oh la-ee, oh la-ee
Oh la-ee, oh la-ee, oh.
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 pocketbook is empty
And my heart is filled with pain
I`m a thousand miles away from home
Just waiting for a train.
Oh la-ee, oh la-ee, oh la-ee
Oh la-ee, oh la-ee, oh.
