F     C7        F          F7
  All Around the Water Tank
  Bb            Bbm   F
  Waiting For a Train
    Bb                       F    Dm
  A thousand Miles Away From Home
  G7              C7
  Sleeping in the Rain

     

F                C7   F
  I walked Up to a brakeman
  F7 Bb                 Bbm   F
  To Give Him A Line of Talk
     Bb                  F
  He says "If you've got Money
       G7           C7    F
  I'll see that you don't walk"
            C7       F
  I haven't got a nickel
  F7    Bb              A7
  Not a penny can I show
     Bb                   F
  He said Get off you Railroad Bum
         G7                  C7     F
  And he slammed the box car door

C7 F          C7  F
  He put me off in Texas
  F7 Bb     Bbm    F
  A place I surely love
        Bb                   F
  Wide open spaces 'round me
      G7                   C7
  The Moon and Stars above
    F    C7                F
  Nobody seems to want me
  F7 Bb                Bbm   F
  or Lend me a helping Hand
      Bb                     F
  I'm On my Way from Frisco
       G7         C7      F
  Goin back to Dixieland
                 C7       F
  My pocket book is empty
  F7     Bb                        A7
  And my heart is filled with pain
        Bb                        F
  I'm a thousand Miles away from home
       G7          C7  F
  Just Waiting for a train
