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 500 miles from my home

500 miles, 500 miles

500 miles, 500 miles

Lord, I′m 500 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

Lord, I 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
