FAll aC7round the Fwater F7tank
BbWaiting Bbmfor a Ftrain
A Bbthousand miles aFway from Emfrom
G7Sleeping in the C7rain
I Fpulled up C7to a FfreightmanF7
Just to Bbgive him a Bbmline of Ftalk
He Bbsaid if you got Fmoney
I'll G7see that C7you don't Fwalk
Well FI havent C7got a FnickelF7
Not a Bbpenny can I A7show
He Bbsaid get off you Frailroad bum
And he G7slammed that C7boxcar Fdoor
Well he put me off in Texas
In a state I dearly love
The wide open spaces all around me
Ther moon and stars above
Nobody seems to want me
Or to lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way from Frisco
Headin back to Dixieland
My pocket book is empty
And my heart is full of pain
Im a thousand miles away from home
Waitin for a train
I'm not sure which key Johnny sings it in. He had recorded this song on the
album Blood, Sweat, and Tears: and on the first volume of Unearthed(Who's Gonna
Cry). I think the unearthed version is in E. But I put the chords in F because,
that's the way Jimmie Rodgers sings it. But for easy chording, the key of G is
good.
