Waitin' For A Train
Lyricist:Jimmie Rodgers and performed by Ken
[the following intro is spoken over someone speaking in French and English, perhaps giving a French lesson]:
I'm an alien from another sphere. The thing I like about the earth is the range of colours -- fantastic to mundane; brilliant to dull. As I was penetrating the ozone, I c.. perchanced to notice the orange peel-like quality of the light playing upon the s.. the ocean. I gotta go right now; someone is videotaping me in my spaceship.
All around a water tank Just a-waitin' for a train A thousand miles away from home Just a-waitin' in the rain I walked up to a breakman Just to give him a line of talk He said, if you got money, I'll see that you don't walk I haven't got a nickel, not a penny for to show Get off, get off, you railroad bum And he slammed the boxcar door They let me off in Texas A state I dearly love The moon 'n' stars above me... and what else?
