Waiting For a Train

Jimmie Rodgers

Continues after the ad
Key: 
G
All around the water tank

C             G
Waiting for a train

  C               G
A thousand miles away from home

A7              D
Sleeping in the rain

  G
I walked up to a brakeman

C                     G
To give him a line of talk

   C                    G
He says, "If you've got money

Continues after the ad
     A7                 D
I'll see that you don't walk."

  G
I haven't got a nickel

      C           G
Not a penny can I show

              C                
He said, "Get off, you railroad 

 A7
bum."

   C           D       G
He slammed the box car door
(yodel)

He put me off in Texas
A place I surely love
Wide open spaces 'round me
The moon and stars above
Nobody seems to want me
Or lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way from Frisco
Goin' back to Dixieland
My pocket book is empty
And my heart is filled with pain
I'm a thousand miles away from home
Just waiting for a train

(yodel)
