All around the water tank
Waitin' 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
Well I haven't got a nickel
Not a penny can I show
He said get off, get off you railroad bum
And slammed the boxcar door
Oh la-ee, oh la-ee, oh la-ee
Oh la-ee, oh la-ee, oh
He put me off in Texas
That's a place I love
Wide open spaces all around me
Moon and stars above
Nobody seems to want me
Or lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way from 'Frisco
Goin' back to Dixieland
Waitin' for a train
A thousand miles away from home
Sleeping in the rain

I'll see that you don't walk

Not a penny can I show
He said get off, get off you railroad bum
And slammed the boxcar door
Oh la-ee, oh la-ee, oh la-ee
Oh la-ee, oh la-ee, oh
He put me off in Texas
That's a place I love
Wide open spaces all around me
Moon and stars above
Nobody seems to want me
Or lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way from 'Frisco
Goin' back to Dixieland
