F       C7     F     F7   Bb       Bbm    F
All around the water tank waiting for a train
  Bb              F         Dm   G7              C7
A thousand miles away from home sleeping in the rain

I walked up to a brakeman just to give him a line of talk
   Bb                  F          G7                 C7
He said if you've got money I'll see that you don't walk
F              C7    F      F7    Bb           A7
Well I haven't got a nickel not a penny can I show
   Bb                F                   G7          C7     F
He said get off you railroad bum and he slammed the boxcar door

C7      F      C7     F    F7  Bb      Bbm     F
Well he put me off in Texas a place I dearly love
    Bb                    F             G7             C7
The wide open spaces all around me the moon and stars above
F      C7       F       F7     Bb         Bbm      F
Nobody seems to want me nor to lend me a helping hand
    Bb              F             G7             C7
I'm on my way from Frisco heading back to Dixie Land
F        C7      F     F7  Bb                   A7
My pocketbook is empty my heart is willed with pain
      Bb              F              G7           C7    F
I'm a thousand miles away from home just waiting for a train
