"Waiting For A Train" - Eddie Noack (originally by Jimmie Rodgers) Track 1 of 12 on the album "Remembering Jimmie Rodgers" (1970) [Intro] G D B7 E A7 D [Verse 1]
D                          G             D
All around the water tank, waiting for a train

  G               D        B7    E               A7
A thousand miles away from home, sleeping in the rain

  D                          G                  D
I walked up to a brakeman to give him a line of talk

G                       D     B7    E                  A7
He said, "If you've got money, I'll see that you don't walk"

  D                           G           D
I haven't got a nickel, not a penny can I show

     G                 D        B7       E           A7     D
"Get off, get off, you railroad bum," He slammed the boxcar door
[Interlude] D A7 D [Verse 2]
   D                      G              D
He put me off in Texas, a state I dearly love

    G                     D        B7   E                  A7
The wide open spaces all around me, the moon and stars up above

D                          G                 D
Nobody seems to want me or lend me a helping hand

    G              D      B7   E                  A7
I'm on my way from Frisco, I'm going back to Dixieland

          D                          G                    D
Though my pocketbook is empty and my heart is filled with pain

      G               D        B7    E       A7    D
I'm a thousand miles away from home, waiting for a train
[Outro] D A7 D
