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
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
from my home
Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles
Lord I'm five hundred miles
from my home
Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
Lord I can't go
a-home this away
This away this away
This away this away
Lord I can't go a-home
this away
If you miss the train I'm on
you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle
blow a hundred miles
