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
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 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...
