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,
A hundred miles, A hundred miles,
You can hear the whistle blow A hundred miles.
Yes, I'm one, Yes, I'm two, Lord,
Yes, I'm three, Yes, I'm four,
Yes, I'm five hundred miles a way from home.
Away from home,my away from home,
away from home,my 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 on home this-a way.
This-a way, this-a way,
This-a way, this-a way,
Lord, I can't go this-a way.
So with 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.
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
