Waiting for a Train

Waiting for a Train - Jorma Kaukonen (約瑪奧)

All around the water tower

Waiting for a train

A thousand miles away from home

Sleeping in the rain

When I walked up to a brakeman

To give him a line of talk

He said if you've got money

You won't have to walk

Well, I haven't got a nickel

Not a penny can I show

Get off, get off you railroad bum

And he slammed that boxcar door

Well, he put me off in Texas

You konow a state I dearly love

Wide open spaces all around me

The moon and stars up above

Nobody seems to want me

Or give me a helping hand

I'm on my way from Frisco

Going back to Dixieland

My pocketbook is empty

An' my heart is full of pain

A thousand miles away from home

Waiting for a train

I'm a thousand miles away from home

Waiting for a train
