Song lyrics
If you missed 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 away from home
Away from home, away from home,
Away from home, away from home
Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home
[Instrumental]
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 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
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
A 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
