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, Oh, Lord I'm four
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
Five hundred miles, Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles, Five hundred miles
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
Lord I'm can't go home this away
This away, this away, this away, this away
Lord I'm can't go 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
