Mississippi John Hurt — Waiting For A Train

All around the water tank Leakin in the rain A thousand miles away from home Waitin for a train I went up to the brakeman Asked for a line of talk He said If you got money man I will see that you don't walk I haven't got a nickel Not a penny can I show Get of get off you railroad bum And he slammed the boxcar door Put me off in Texas Place I dearly love Wide open spaces around me Moon and stars up above There's no one seem to care me Either lend me a helpin hand I'm on my way from Frisco I'm goin back to Dixieland My pocketbook is empty And my heart is full of pain A thousand miles away from home Waitin for a train
