Lyrics

]All around the water tank

Waiting 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 nickel

Not a penny can I shill


"Get off, get off, you railroad bum"

He slammed the boxcar door


Oh-de-lay-ee, ay-ee, oh-lay-ee


He put me off in Texas

A state I dearly love

The wide open spaces all around me

The moon and stars up above


Nobody seems 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

Just waiting for a train


Oh-de-lay-ee, ay-ee, oh-lay-ee
