A song recorded in 1929 by Jimmy Rogers.

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
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
He said Get off you Railroad Bum
And he slammed the box car door
(yodel)

He put me off in Texas
A place I surely love
Wide open spaces 'round me
The Moon and Stars above

Nobody seems to want me
or Lend me a helping Hand
I'm On my Way from Frisco
Goin back to Dixieland

My pocket book is empty
And my heart is filled with pain
I'm a thousand Miles away from home
Just Waiting for a train

(yodel)
