All around the water tanks, 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 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 He put me off in Texas, a state I dearly love The wide open spaces all around me, the moon and the 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 pocketbook is empty and my heart is full of pain I'm a thousand miles away from home, just waiting for a train

Repent and trust in Jesus. He's the only way to Heaven. We've all sinned and deserve Hell. Sins like lying, lusting, etc. Repent and trust only in Jesus, and you will be saved! You can be saved because he took the punishment for our sins on himself when he died on the cross, just like someone can pay your speeding fine in court, and you get off free. Romans 3:23 John 3:16❤😊

Fascinating to hear him talk about it already being an old song.Then, you put it alongside the Jerry Lee Lewis version. Could the one have happened without the other? As they say, discuss.

Jimmie Rogers often stayed in my grandparents home when riding the rails and overnighted in Memphis as did other railroad men since my grandfather and uncles all worked on the railroad. I heard a lot about his playing for them - and the neighbors .

Listen to Piedmont Blues great, the late John Jackson, do this song. He learned if off a Rodgers record back inthe 1930s. Jimmie may be the Father of Country Music but he was also afine bluesman.In fact, he recorded with jazz great Loius Armstrong back then. Armstrong and Johnny Cash replicated that song on the Johnny Cash Show.
@user-qz3hb9kk5u4 ай бұрын
Jimmie and many other country singers back then were popular in the black community. Apparently Jimmie also mentored howling wolf, the legendary Chicago blues singer. He got his name from Jimmie when he tried to mimic Jimmie's yodeling, but Jimmie said he sounded more like a howling wolf than yodeling lol

I am a big outlaw country fan/dead head. People dont always see the parellels in the music. But i believe they are cut from the same cloth all originating back to this man. Cool hearing original jimmie rodgers lines spunoff in the music of the grateful dead or hank williams. Im just a music/history guy i suppose indiscriminately (except rap lol believe jerry when he said it is not music.) Cool video!

A couple years ago, I was taking a train to visit family for the holidays because I couldn't afford a plane ticket at the time. I was sitting on a bench in the station and across from me was an old man. I couldn't help but think of this song, so I started to sing it and suddenly to my surprise the old man across to me started singing along with me. Right as we finished the song, the train rolled in. The timing was perfect
