Waiting For A Train
Words and Music by: Jimmie Rodgers (1929)
Performed by: Various Artists
Sequenced by: Ron Tilden

All around the water tank,
Waitin' for a train,

A thousand miles away from home,
Sleeping in the rain;

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

He says, "If you've got money,
I'll see that you don't walk."

"I haven't got a nickle,
Not a penny can I show,"

He said, "Get off, you railroad bum"
And slammed the boxcar door.

[Yodel] Oh laee, oh laee, oh laee
Oh laee, oh laee, oh.

[Music Interlude]

He put me off in Texas,
A place I surely love,

Wide open spaces 'round me,
The moon and stars above;

Nobody seems to want me
Or lend me a helping hand;

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

My pocketbook is empty
And my heart is filled with pain;

I'm a thousand miles away from home
Just waiting for a train.

[Yodel] Oh laee, oh laee, oh laee
Oh laee, oh laee, oh.

Oh laee, oh laee, oh laee
Oh laee, oh laee, oh.
