Waiting For A Train [Russian translation]

All around the water tank

Leakin in the rain

A thousand miles away from home

Waitin for a train

I walk up to the brakeman

Asked for a 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

Get off get off you railroad bum

And he slammed the boxcar door.

Put me off in Texas

Place I dearly love

Wide open spaces around me

Moon and stars up above

There's no one seem to care me

Either lend me a helpin hand

Im on my way from Frisco

I'm goin back to Dixieland

My pocketbook is empty

And my heart is full of pain

A thousand miles away from home

Waitin for a train.
