If you miss this train I'm on
You will know that I have 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
Yes I'm one yes I'm two
Yes I'm three
Yes I'm four
Yes I'm five hundred miles from my home
Away from home
Away from home
Away from home
Away from home
Yes I'm five hundred miles away from home
Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
Lord I can't go home this a way
This a way this a way
This a way this a way
Lord I can't go on this away
So if you miss this train I'm on
You will know that I have 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
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow
A hundred miles
