Billy Walker
Waiting for a Train
All around the water tankWaiting for a trainA thousand miles away from homeStanding in the rainI walked up to a brakemanTo hand him a line of talkHe says if you've got money, BillI'll see that you don't walkI haven't got a nickelNot a penny can I showGet off, get off you railroad bumAnd he slammed the boxcar doorHe put me off in TexasA state I dearly loveThe wide open spaces all around meThe moon and stars aboveNobody seems to want meOr lend me a helping handI'm on my way from FriscoGoing back to DixielandMy pocketbook is emptyAnd my heart is full of painI'm a thousand miles away from homeJust a waiting for a train
