Lewis, Jerry Lee - All Around The Watertank (Waiting For A Train) Lyrics
All around the water tank
Waitin' for a train
I'm a thousand miles away from home
Sleeping in the rain
Just to make a line of talk
He said, "Son if you've got money"
"I'll see that you don't walk"
Well, I haven't got a nickel
Not a penny can I show
Well, get off, get off, you railroad bum
He slammed the boxcar door
A state I dearly love
Wide open spaces all around me, Lord
The moon and stars above
My pocketbook is empty
My old heart is filled with pain
I'm a thousand miles away from home
And I'm waitin' for a train

Yodels Trains & JERRY LEE.....who could ask 4 more?
This is the version, love it!
I have one of my favourite country singers singing this song Jim Reeves, but I'm also a big fan of Jerry singing Rock@Roll and country ,and I love it, first I've heard it by Jerry.
Great stuff
This is the best version of this song that I have ever heard. Thank you for the pleasure of listening.
appreciate you listening
Thanks so much for this post. At 1:02, Jerry Lee has a beard. Never saw him with one before. I understand Jimmie Rodgers first did this. In 1984, Mel McDaniel covered it, and I've that one on CD. Jerry Lee can certainly put his own twist on any song. One of my all-time faves, for sure.
Jerry grew a beard when he played Othello in a rock musical in LA, around 1967/68.
Great song. Merle does a great version too. Thanks for posting.
I agree that Merle has a great version....Tony Douglas does a very good version also....If you get a chance....give Tony's version a listen.
Great post Jack. Thanks!
you're very welcome Brent, thanks for listening
