[00:08.59]All around the water tank waitin' for a train
[00:16.70]A thousand miles away from home sleeping in the rain
[00:24.80]I walked up to a brakeman just to give him a line of talk
[00:32.93]He said if you've got money I'll see that you don't walk
[00:40.92]Well I haven't got a nickel not a penny can I show
[00:49.10]He said get off you railroad bum and he slammed the boxcar door
[00:57.26]
[01:05.43]Well he put me off in Texas a state I dearly love
[01:12.89]The wide open spaces all around me the moon and stars above
[01:21.62]Nobody seems to want me nor to lend me a helping hand
[01:29.82]I'm on my way from Frisco headin' back to Dixie Land
[01:37.96]My pocketbook is empty my heart is full of pain
[01:46.16]I'm a thousand miles away from home waitin' for a train
[01:54.32]
