"Waiting for a Train" is a song written and recorded by Jimmie Rodgers and released by the Victor Talking Machine Company as the flipside of "Blue Yodel No. 4" in February 1929. The song originated in the nineteenth century in England. It later appeared in several song books, with variations on the lyrics throughout the years. Rodgers, who was familiar with the tune, reworked it with producer Ralph Peer. Complementary to Rodgers' characteristic blues guitar, the recording session featured a jazz combo the singer found while visiting a bar in Atlanta, Georgia, just before the recording session.

  • Waiting for a Train ist ein Countrysong von Jimmie Rodgers, der am 22. Oktober 1928 aufgenommen und am 8. Februar 1929 veröffentlicht wurde. Bemerkenswert ist er als erster Einsatz von Rodgers’ „Train Whistle Noise“, einer Imitation des Eisenbahnsignals. Heute gilt der Song als einer der größten Klassiker unter Rodgers’ Songs und insbesondere des Blue Yodeling. Weitere Künstler haben den Song aufgenommen; bereits unmittelbar nach Veröffentlichung etwa Riley Puckett für Columbia (März 1929). 1937 erschien Cliff Carlisles Version mit geändertem Text unter dem Titel Waiting for a Ride. Johnny Cash spielte ihn 1962 für sein Album Blood, Sweat & Tears sowie für die Albumreihe American Recordings ein. Diese Version erschien allerdings erst posthum 2003 auf dem Boxset Unearthed. (de)

Complementary to Rodgers' characteristic blues guitar, the recording session featured a jazz combo the singer found while visiting a bar in Atlanta, Georgia, just before the recording session. It became one of Rodgers' most popular songs, as the Wall Street Crash of 1929 made the composition relatable to everyday life during the Great Depression. Rodgers became the best selling act of the year. Since then, "Waiting for a Train" has been recorded by several other artists. Boxcar Willie, who also sung I'll Fly Away, recorded this song. (en)
