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 the money
I'll see that you don't walk
I haven't got a nickel
Not a penny can I show
Get off.. get off you railroad bum
He slammed the boxcar door
Yodel ay-eee ay-eee yodel ay-eee
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 goin' 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
Yodel-ay-eee ay-eee yodel-ay-eee
