-- OR -- 
Dew dew dew dew -- doe di oh doe
Doe di oh doe di oh doe
All around the water tanks ... waitin' 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 said if you've 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
Ye oodaladee oh daladyah dalady
Well he put me off in Texas ... a state I dearly love
The wide open spaces all around me ... the moon and stars up above
Nobody seems to want me ... or to lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way from Frisco .... goin back to Dixie Land
Tho My pocketbook is empty ... my heart is full of pain
I'm a thousand miles away from home ... waitin' for a train
Ye oodaladee oh daladyah dalady
