Grandpa Jones - Country Music Hall of Fame Series: Grandpa Jones

Waiting for a Train

All around the water tank, a-waiting for a train
A thousand miles away from home, sleeping in the rain
Well, I walked up to a brakeman, to give him a line of talk
He said, 'If you got money, I'll see that you don't walk'
Well, I haven't got a nickel, not a penny can I show
'Get off, get off, you railroad bum,' and he slammed the boxcar door

Well, they put me off in Texas; a state I dearly love
The wide open spaces all around me
And the moon and the stars up above
Well, no one seems to want me, or lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way from Fresco; I'm going back to Dixieland
Oh, my pocketbook is empty, and my heart is full of pain
I'm a thousand miles away from home, just a-waiting for a train
