If you miss this train I'm on,
You will know that I have gone.
You can hear the whistle blow,
hundred miles.
hundred miles, a hundred miles,
hundred miles, a hundred miles,
You can hear the whistle blow,
hundred miles.

Yes, I'm one, yes, I'm two,
Yes, I'm three, yes, I'm four,
Yes, I'm 500 miles
From my home.
Away from home, away from home,
Away from home, away from home,
Yes, I'm 500 miles,
Away from 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.

So if you miss this train I'm on,
You will know that I have gone.
You can hear the whistle blow,
hundred miles.
hundred miles, a hundred miles,
hundred miles, a hundred miles,
You can hear the whistle blow,
hundred miles.

You can hear the whistle blow,
hundred miles...

You can hear the whistle blow,
hundred miles...
