If you miss the train I'm on

You will know that I am gone

You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

A hundred miles a hundred miles

A hundred miles a hundred miles

You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

Lord I'm one Lord I'm two

Lord I'm three Lord I'm four

Lord I'm five hundred miles from my home

Five hundred miles five hundred miles

Five hundred miles five hundred miles

Lord I'm five hundred miles from my home

Not a shirt on my back not a penny to my name

Lord I can't go a- home this a- way

This a- away this a- way this a- way this a- way

Lord I can't go a- home this a- way

If you miss the train I'm on

You will know that I am gone

You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
