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 a way 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
