Lyrics
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. (Interlude, repeat first verse)
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
