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 five hundred miles from my home
Not a shirt on my back
not a penny to my name
Lord I can't go a-home this a-way
This a-away this a-way this a-way
this a-way
Lord I can't go a-home this a-way

Lord I'm one lord I'm two lord I'm three If you miss the train I'm on you will know
lord i'm four that I am gone
Lord I’m 500 miles from my home You can hear the whistle blow
500 miles 500 miles 500 miles 500 miles a hundred miles
