Karaoké Waiting for a Train Jim Reeves

All around the water tank

Waitin' for a train

A thousand miles away from home

Sleepin' in the rain

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

He said If you've got 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

Well 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 helpin' hand

I'm on my way from Frisco

Goin' back to Dixie Land

My pocketbook is empty

My heart is full of pain

I'm a thousand miles away from home waitin' for a train
