All around the water tank
Waiting for a train
A thousand miles away from from
Sleeping in the rain
I pulled up to a freightman
Just to give him a line of talk
He said if you got money
I'll see that you don't walk
Well I havent got a nickel
Not a penny can I show
He said get off you railroad bum
And he slammed that boxcar door
Well he put me off in Texas
