All around the water tanks waiting for a train
  A               E             F#              B7
A thousand miles away from home sleeping in the rain

I walked up to a brakeman to give him a line of talk
   A                  E          F#                 B7
He says if you've got money I'll see that you don't walk
  E       B7    E            A           E
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

Verse:
He put me off in Texas the place I dearly love
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 pocket book is empty and my heart is full of pain
I'm a thousand miles away from home waiting for a train
