Waitin For A Train Lyrics

    [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?

    ( song written by jimmie rodgers and performed by ken)
