Lyrics for Waiting For A Train

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 to give him a line of talk He says, "If you've got the 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." He slammed the boxcar door Yodel lay-ee, hey-ee, yodel lay-ee-ee 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 lend me a helping hand I'm on my way from Frisco, I'm goin' to Dixieland Though my pocketbook is empty and my heart is full of pain I'm a thousand miles away from home, just waiting for a train Yodel lay-ee, hey-ee, yodel lay-ee-ee
