If you missed the train I'm on 
You will know that I am gone 
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles 

hundred miles, a hundred miles, 
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 
 [bad word]  

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 

hundred miles, a hundred miles, 
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
