Waiting For A Train

[Verse 1]
                               G             D
All'der 'round the water tank, waitin' for a train
  G               D              E               A7
A thousand miles away from home, sleepin' in the rain

[Verse 2]
  D                           G                  D
I walked up to a brakeman, to give him a line of talk
   G                  D           E7                 A7
He said if you've got money, I'll see that you don't walk

[Verse 3]
  D                           G           D
I haven't got a nickel, not a penny can I show
    G                 D        B7      E           A7     D
Get off, get off, you railroad bum, he slammed the boxcar door

[Verse 4]
                                G              D
Well, he put me off in Texas, a state I dearly love
    G                     D             E7                A
The wide open spaces all around me, the moon and stars up above

[Verse 5]
  D                         G                 D
Nobody seems to want me, or lend me a helpin' hand
    G              D             E    E7       A
I'm on my way from Frisco, goin' back to Dixie Land

[Verse 6]
   D                       G                D
My pocketbook is empty, my heart is full of pain
      G                        B7    Em      A     D
I'm a thousand miles away from home, waitin' for a train
