Hank Snow - Railroad Man

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, gave him a line of talk
He said, "If you've got money boy
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
And he slammed the boxcar door

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 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
Just waiting for a train
