Waiting For a Train

D  D#dim   A  F#7  D  E7  A  E7

A      E7       A     A7     D     D#dim   A   A7
All around the water tank, waiting for a train

D         D#dim     A      F#7      B7           E7
A thousand miles away from home, sleeping in the rain

I walked up to the brakeman, to give him a line of talk

He said if you've got the money son, I'll see that you don't walk

But I haven't got a nickel, not a penny can I show...

D       D#dim        A      F#7        B7        E7      A
Get off get off you railroad bum, he slammed the boxcar door.

He put me off in Texas, a state I dearly love

Wide open spaces all around me, and the moon and stars above

Nobody seems to want me, or lend me a helping hand

I'm on my way from 'Frisco, going back to Dixieland

My pocketbook is empty, and my heart is full of pain

I'm a thousand miles away from home just waitin' for a train
