Waiting For A Train - Merle Haggard And The Strangers

作曲：Jimmie Rodgers

All around the water tank

Waiting for a train

A thousand miles away from home

Sleeping in the rain

I walked up to a brake man

To give him a line of talk

He said 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 that boxcar door

He put me off in Texas

The place I dearly love

Wide open spaces all around me

The moon and stars up above

Nobody seemed to want me

Or lend me a helping hand

I'm on my way from Frisco

I'm going back to Dixieland

Though my pocketbook is empty

And my heart is full of pain

I'm a thousand miles away from home

Waiting for a train

Nobody seemed to want me

Or lend me a helping hand

I'm on my way from Frisco

I'm going back to Dixieland

Though my pocketbook is empty

And my heart is full of pain

I'm a thousand miles away from home

Waiting for a train
