Waiting For A Train（2011 - Remaster）- The Proclaimers
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 to give him a line of talk
He said "If you 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"
And slammed the boxcar door
He put me off in Texas
A state I dearly love
The wide open spaces all around me
The moon and the stars up above
Nobody seems to want me
Or lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way from Frisco
Going back to Dixieland
My pocket book is empty
And my heart is full of pain
I'm a thousand miles away
From home 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
To give him a line of talk
He said "If you 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"
And slammed the boxcar door
