A E A
All around the water tank
D A
Waiting for a train
D A
A thousand miles away from home
B7 E
Sleeping in the rain
A E A
I walked up to a brakeman
D A
Just to give him a line of talk
D A
He said if you got money
B7 E A
I'll see that you don't walk
E A
Well I haven’t got a nickel
D
Not a penny can I show
A
He said get off you railroad bum
B7 E A
And he slammed that boxcar door
E A
Well he put me off in Texas
D A
In a state I dearly love
D A
The wide open spaces all around me
B7 E
The moon and stars above
A E A
Nobody seems to want me
D A
Or to lend me a helping hand
D A
I'm on my way from Frisco
B7 E A
Headin back to Dixieland
E A
My pocket book is empty
D
And my heart is full of pain
D A
I’m a thousand miles away from home
B7 E A
Waitin for a train
