"Waiting For A Train" - Johnny Cash
Track 8 Of 9 On The Album "Blood, Sweat And Tears" (1963)
Intro
Verse 1
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"
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
Interlude
Verse 2
Well, He Put Me Off In Texas, A State 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, Heading Back To Dixie Land
My Pocketbook Is Empty, My Heart Is Full Of Pain
I'm A Thousand Miles Away From Home, Waiting For A Train
