Waiting For A Train

Jimmie Rodgers : Waiting for a Train



all around the water tank
waiting 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"
i haven't got a nickel
not a penny can i show
"get off get off you railroad bum"
he slammed the boxcar door
