All around the water tanks 
        C              G 
I'm just waiting for a train 
      C               G        E

Sleeping in the rain

I walked up to a brakeman 
        C                  G 
Just to give him a line of talk 
   C                    G

E    A7                 D 
I'll see that you don't walk"

"Get off, get off, you railroad bum"

[Verso 4]
 
          D      G 
He put me off in Texas 
  C              G 
A state I dearly love 
    C                     G      E 
The wide open spaces all around me 
    A7                 D 
The moon and stars up above 
 


[Verso 5]
 
    G      D        G 
And no one seems to want me 
   C                 G 
Or lend me a helping hand 
        C              G       E 
Now I'm on my way from Frisco, hell yeah

Back to Dixieland

I'm a thousand miles away from home 
     A       D     G      D G 
Just waiting for a train
