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
