Johnny Cash Album: Blood Sweat and Tears Track: Waiting for a Train Waiting for a Train Lyrics (Jimmie Rodgers) © '29 Peer International, BMI 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 [ piano ] 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 nor to lend me a helping hand I'm on my way from Frisco headin' back to Dixie Land My pocketbook is empty my heart is willed with pain I'm a thousand miles away from home just waitin' for a train
