Intro
Verse 1
All around the water tanks, waiting for a train.
A thousand miles away from home, sleeping in the rain.
I walked up to a brakeman, to give him a line of talk.
He says if you've got money, 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.
Yodel
Verse 2
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 lend me a helping hand.
I'm on my way from Frisco, going back to Dixie Land.
Though my pocketbook is empty, my heart is full of pain.
I'm a thousand miles away from home, waiting for a train.
Yodel
