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, ahundred 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 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 home this away.
This away, this away, this away, 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
