A thousand miles away from home, sleeping in the rain

I walk up to the brakeman, and give him line of talk

He says if you've got the money, I'll see that you don't walk

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

Get off get off you railroad bum, he slammed the boxcar door

He put me off in Texas, a state I dearly love

The wide open spaces around me, the moon and stars up above

Nobody seems to want me, or lend me a helping hand

I am on my way from 'frisco, I am going to dixieland

Though my pocketbook is empty, and my heart is full of pain

I am a thousand miles away from home just waiting for a train
