Dickey Lee - Waiting For A Train lyrics

All around the water tank waitin' for a train

A thousand miles away from home sleeping in the rain

I walked up to the brakeman and 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 one penny can I show

Get off get off you railroad bum and he slammed that boxcar door (yodel)

[ dobro ]

He put me off in Texas a place I dearly love

Wide open spaces all around me and the moon and stars up above

Well nobody seems to want me nor 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 waitin' for a train (yodel)
