All [E] around the water [A] tanks waiting [E] for a train
[A] a thousand [E] miles away from home
sleeping in [F#] the rain I
Walked up [E] to a breakman [A] to give him [E] my talk
[A] He says if you [E] got money
I'll see that you [F#] don't walk
[E] I haven't got a nickel
[A] Not a penny [E] can I show
[A] Get off get [E] off your railroad bum and he slammed that box car door
He put me off in Texas
[A] the place I [E] dearly love
[A] Wide open [E] spaces all around me
[F#] the moon and [B] stars up above
Nobody [E] seemed to want me
[A] Lend me a [E] helping hand
[A] I'm on my [E] way from Frisco.
[F#] I'm going back to [B] Dixieland
[E] Though my pocketbook is empty [A] and my heart is [E] full of pain
[A] I'm a thousand [E] miles away from home
Waiting for a train

Nobody seemed to want me
[A] Her lend me a [E] helping hand
[A] I'm on my way [E] from Frisco.

I'm a thousand miles away from home
