Waiting for a Train (Live)

All along the water tank

Waiting for a train

I'm a thousand miles away from home

Sleeping in the rain

My pocketbook is empty

My old heart is filled with pain

I'm one thousand miles away from home

And I'm waiting for a train

Odi ole ole ole

Well I walked up to a brakeman

Just to make a line of talk

He said son 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

Well get off get off you railroad bum

He slammed the boxcar door

Odie ole ole ole ole

Oh you know they put me off in texas

A state I dearly love

Wide open spaces all around me

Moon and stars above

You know I haven't got a nickel

My old heart is filled with pain

I'm one thousand miles away from home

And I'm waiting for a train

Ah de ole ole ole
