Letras de Waiting for a Train

Oh Lord, I left dear old Frisco
For my home down in Dixieland
But here I am, all stranded
Down by the Rio Grande
I′m looking for a handout now
As I go on my weary way
The stars are my only blanket
I do my travelin' by day

All around the water tank
A-waiting for a train
A thousand miles away from home
And sleeping in the rain

I walked up to a brakeman
To give him a line of talk
He says, "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!"
He slammed the boxcar door

Dee-oh-del-lay-ee-oh
Del-lay-ee-hey, oh-lay-ee

If that old brakeman only knew
How bad that I wanted to get back home to my mama
He′d never had throwed me off that train
Now I guess I'm gonna have to take this old guitar of mine
And get out here and play and sing a song
To get me a little old bowl of chili

He put me off in Texas

A state I dearly love
The wide open spaces all around me
The moon and stars up above
Don′t nobody seem to want me
Or lend me a helping hand

I'm on my way from Frisco
I′m going back to Dixieland
Though my pocketbook is empty
And my heart is full of pain
I'm a thousand miles away from home
Just a-waiting for a train

Dee-oh-del-lay-ee-oh
Del-lay-ee-hey, del-lay-ee
Oh-del-lay-ee, oh-lay-ee, oh-lay-ee
