Tom: C
F C7 F F7 Bb Bbm F
All around the water tank waiting for a train
Bb F Dm G7 C7
A thousand miles away from home sleeping in the rain
F C7 F F7 Bb Bbm F
I walked up to a brakeman just to give him a line of talk
Bb F G7 C7
He said if you've got money I'll see that you don't walk
F C7 F F7 Bb A7
Well I haven't got a nickel not a penny can I show
Bb F G7 C7 F
He said get off you railroad bum and he slammed the boxcar door
C7 F C7 F F7 Bb Bbm F
Well he put me off in Texas a place I dearly love
Bb F G7 C7
The wide open spaces all around me the moon and stars above
F C7 F F7 Bb Bbm F
Nobody seems to want me nor to lend me a helping hand
Bb F G7 C7
I'm on my way from Frisco heading back to Dixie Land
F C7 F F7 Bb A7
My pocketbook is empty my heart is willed with pain
Bb F G7 C7 F
I'm a thousand miles away from home just waiting for a train
