If you missed 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 away from home
Away from home, away from home, Away from home, away from home Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home
[Instrumental]
Not a shirt on my back Not a penny to my name Lord, I can't go back home this ole way
This ole way, this ole way, This ole way, this ole way, Lord, I can't go back home this this ole way
If you missed 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
