[Verso 1]
 
D 
All around the water tank 
G             D 
Waiting for a train 
  G               D        B7 
A thousand miles away from home 
E               A7 
Sleeping in the rain 
  D 
I walked up to a brakeman 
   G                  D 
To give him a line of talk 
G                       D     B7 
He said, "If you've got money 
     E                  A7 
I'll see that you don't walk" 
  D 
I haven't got a nickel 
      G           D 
Not a penny can I show 
     G                 D        B7 
"Get off, get off, you railroad bum" 
   E           A7     D 
He slammed the boxcar door 

Interlude

[Verso 2]

   D 
He put me off in Texas 
  G              D 
A state I dearly love 
    G                     D        B7 
The wide open spaces all around me 
    E                  A7 
The moon and stars up above 
D 
Nobody seems to want me 
   G                 D 
Or lend me a helping hand 
    G              D      B7 
I'm on my way from Frisco 
    E                  A7 
I'm going back to Dixieland 
          D 
Though my pocketbook is empty 
       G                    D 
And my heart is filled with pain 
      G               D        B7 
I'm a thousand miles away from home 
E       A7    D 
Waiting for a train
