If you miss the train I'm on
You'll know I''ve 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,
Oh, Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four,
Good God I'm five hundred miles from my home
Five hundred miles, five hundred miles
Five hundred miles, five hundred miles
I'm five hundred miles oh from my home
Not a shirt on my back, I've got no penny to my name
Lord I can't ggo home this ole way
This ole way, this ole way, this ole way, this ole way
Lord, don't make me go home this way
So, if you miss the train I'm on
You'll know that I've gone
You will hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
