all around the watertank (waiting for a train)

Lyrics

all around the water tank, waitin' for a train, i'm a thousand miles away from home, sleeping in the rain, i walked up to a brakeman, just to make a line of talk, he said, "son if you've got money", "i'll see that you don't walk", well, i haven't got a nickel, not a penny can i show, well, get off, get off, you railroad bum, he slammed the boxcar door, well, he put me off in texas, a state i dearly love, wide open spaces all around me, lord, the moon and stars above, my pocketbook is empty, my old heart is filled with pain, i'm a thousand miles away from home, and i'm waitin' for a train
