1. If you miss the train, I'm on,

You will know that I am gone.

You can hear the whistle blow

One hundred miles.

One hundred miles, one hundred miles,

One hundred miles, one hundred miles,

You can hear the whistle blow

One hundred miles.



2. Lord, I'm one, lord, Im two,

Lord, I'm three, Lord, I'm four,

Lord, I'm five hundred miles

Away from home.

Five hundred miles, five hundred miles,

Five hundred miles, five hundred miles,

Lord, I'm five hundred miles

Away from home.



3. Not a shirt on my back,

Not a penny to my name.

Lord, I can't go a-home

This a-way.

This a-way, this a-way,

This a-way, this a-way,

Lord, I can't go a-home

This a-way.
