Letra

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 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. 

If you miss the train I'm on you will know that I am gone 

You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
