All around the water tank
Waiting for a train
A thousand miles away from home
Sleeping in the rain
I walked up to a brakeman
To give him a line of talk
He says, "If you've got money
I'll see that you don't walk."
I haven't got a nickel
Not a penny can I show
He said, "Get off, you railroad bum."
He slammed the box car door
