If you missed 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,
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 a-way.
This a-way, this a-way,
This a-way, this a-way,
Lord, I can't go back home this a-way.
If you missed 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.
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
