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

Not a shirt on my back

Not a penny to my name

Lord I can't go home this ol'way

This ol'way this way this way this ol' way

Lord I can't go home this away

Lord I'm one lord I'm two

Lord I'm three lord I'm four

Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home

Five hundred miles five hundred miles

Five hundred miles five hundred miles

Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home

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

Five hundred miles five hundred miles

Five hundred miles five hundred miles

Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home

Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
