作曲 : Jimmie Rodgers
All around the water tank waitin' for a train
A thousand miles away from home sleeping in the rain
I walked up to a brakeman just to give him a line of talk
He said if you've got money I'll see that you don't walk
Well I haven't got a nickel not a penny can I show
He said get off you railroad bum and he slammed the boxcar door
Well he put me off in Texas a place I dearly love
The wide open spaces all around me the moon and stars above
Nobody seems to want me or to lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way from Frisco headin' back to Dixie land
My pocket book is empty my heart is full of pain
I'm a thousand miles away from home waitin' for a train
