词曲原唱: Jimmie Rodgers(1929) All around the water tank Waiting for a train A thousand miles away from home Sleeping in the rain I walked up to a brakeman To give him my line of talk He said if you got money I'll see that you don't walk I haven't got a nickel Not a penny can I show He said get off you railroad bum He slammed that boxcar door He put me off in Texas The state I dearly love Wide open spaces around me Moon and stars above Nobody seems to want me Or lend me a helping hand I'm on my way from Frisco Going back to Dixieland My pocketbook is empty My heart is full of pain A thousand miles away from home Just waiting for a train Oh-de-ley-ee-ei Oh-de-ley-ee-oh Lay-ee-lay-ee-hi It's rainning and it's hailing While I wait here alone I'm thinking of the good old days When just a boy back home But I ain't turning backwards I'm going to wander on I'm going to catch that southern freight And then boys I'll be gone He put me off in Texas That state I dearly love Wide open spaces around me Moon and stars above Nobody seems to want me Or lend me a helping hand I'm on my way from Frisco Going back to Dixieland My pocketbook is empty My heart is full of pain I'm a thousand miles away from home I waiting for a train编辑于2023/10/26更新
