Lyric Of The Day: “Waiting For A Train”
“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 a 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 I can show
“Get off, get off, you railroad bum”
He slammed the boxcar door.”
- Written by Jimmie Rodgers.
