Waiting For a Train

A thousand Miles Away From Home

Sleeping in the Rain

To Give Him A Line of Talk

He says "If you've got Money
G7 C7 F
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

He put me off in Texas

A place I surely love

Wide open spaces 'round me

The Moon and Stars above

or Lend me a helping Hand

Just Waiting for a train
