{c:Intro}
[/] [C]  [/] [G]  [/] [A7] [D7] [/] [G]  [/]

[G] All around the [G7] water tank [C] waiting for a [G] train
A [C] thousand miles a- [G] way from home [A7] sleeping in the [D7] rain
I [G] walked up to a [G7] brakeman just to [C] give him a line of [G] talk
He [C] said if you've got [G] money, I'll [A7] see that you don't [D7] walk
Well I [G] haven't got a [G7] nickel not a [C] penny can I [G] show
He [C] said get off you [G] railroad bum and he [A7] slammed the [D7] boxcar [G] door


Well he [G] put me off in [G7] Texas a [C] place I dearly [G] love
The [C] wide- open spaces all [G] around me the [A7] moon and stars [D7] above
[G] Nobody seems to [G7] want me nor to [C] lend me a helping [G] hand
I'm [C] on my way from [G] Frisco heading [A7] back to Dixie [D7] Land  
My [G] pocketbook is [G7] empty my [C] heart is willed with [G] pain
I'm a [C] thousand miles a- [G] way from home just [A7] waiting [D7] for a [G] train
