Okee, jullie hebben er om gevraagd. Een stevige portie jodel bij het wachten op een trein waar je voor nop op kunt springen. We hadden Jerry Lee Lewis al, hier is de eerste versie die ik gekend heb, van Boz Scaggs.
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 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 shill
“Get off, get off, you railroad bum”
He slammed the boxcar door
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 lend me a helping hand
I’m on my way from Frisco, I’m going back to Dixieland
Though my pocket book is empty and my heart is full of pain
I’m a thousand miles away from home just waiting for a train
Waiting for a train, 1969
