If you miss this 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 away from home

Away from home

Away from home

Away from home

Away from home

Lord 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 back home this ole way

This ole way this ole way

This ole way this ole way

Lord I can't go back home this ole way

If you miss this 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

You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
