If you miss the train I'm on

Then you 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

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

God put a shirt by my bag

Not a penny to my name

Lord I can't go back home this a way

If you miss the train I'm on

Then you know that I have gone

You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
