Max McCauley - Waiting For A Train lyrics

Artist: Max McCauley

album: Kiwi Yodelling Kings – An Album Of New Zealand Nostalgia


All around the water tank
They're waitin' for a train
A thousand miles away from home
A-sleepin' in the rain
I walked up to a brakeman
I 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 long
The wide open spaces all around me
The moon and stars up above
Oh, nobody seemed to want me
Or lend me a helpin' hand
I'm on my way from 'Frisco
Goin' back to Dixieland
Although my pocketbook is empty
And my heart is full of pain
I'm a thousand miles away from home
A-waitin' for a train
I'm a thousand miles away from home
Just a-waitin' for a train
