words and music by Jimmie Rodgers
YEAR 1929

[Verse 1]
F        C7        F        F7
All Around the Water Tank
Bb             Bbm F
Waiting For a Train
    Bb                     F             Dm
A thousand Miles Away From Home
G7                   C7
Sleeping in the Rain

  F              C7   F
I walked Up to a brakeman
 F7 Bb                  Bbm F
To Give Him A Line of Talk
      Bb                       F
He says "If you've got Money
    G7         C7          F
I'll see that you don't walk"
             C7    F
I haven't got a nickel
F7      Bb             A7
Not a penny can I show
     Bb                    F
He said Get off you Railroad Bum
            G7               C7        F
And he slammed the box car door

(Yodel)
F   C7   F          C7    F

[Verse 2]
C7  F         C7   F
He put me off in Texas
F7  Bb     Bbm  F
A place I surely love
         Bb                F
Wide open spaces 'round me
       G7                     C7
The Moon and Stars above
     F      C7          F
Nobody seems to want me
F7 Bb                  Bbm  F
or Lend me a helping Hand
      Bb                      F
I'm On my Way from Frisco
        G7        C7    F
Goin back to Dixieland
                C7         F
My pocket book is empty
F7         Bb                      A7
And my heart is filled with pain
        Bb                      F
I'm a thousand Miles away from home
        G7       C7    F
Just Waiting for a train

(Yodel)
F   C7   F          C7   F
