Karaoké Waitin' For a Train Merle Haggard

All around the water tanks

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 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 show

Get off, get off you railroad bum and he slammed that boxcar door

He put me off in Texas

The place I dearly love

The wide open spaces all around me

The moon and stars up above

Nobody seemed to want me or lend me a helpin' hand

I'm on my way from Frisco

I'm goin' back to Dixieland

Though my pocketbook is empty and my heart is full of pain

I'm a thousand miles away from home

Waitin' for a train

Nobody seemed to want me or lend me a helpin' hand

I'm on my way from Frisco

I'm goin' back to Dixieland

Though my pocketbook is empty and my heart is full of pain

I'm a thousand miles away from home

Waitin' for a train

Yodelay hee oh

Yodelay hee oh

Yodelay hee
