DD#dimAF#7DE7AE7AE7AA7DD#dimAA7
All around the water tank, waiting for a train
DD#dimAF#7B7E7
A thousand miles away from home, sleeping in the rain
I walked up to the brakeman, to give him a line of talk
He said if you've got the money son, I'll see that you don't walk
But I haven't got a nickel, not a penny can I show...
DD#dimAF#7B7E7A
Get off get off you railroad bum, he slammed the boxcar door.
He put me off in Texas, a state I dearly love
Wide open spaces all around me, and the moon and stars above
Nobody seems to want me, or lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way from 'Frisco, going back to Dixieland
My pocketbook is empty, and my heart is full of pain
I'm a thousand miles away from home just waitin' for a train
