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

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

You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
