If you missed the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred milesA hundred miles, a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred milesLord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two,
Lord, I'm three, Lord, I'm four
Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from homeAway from home, away from home,
Away from home, away from home
Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from homeNot a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
Lord, I can't go back home this ole wayThis ole way, this ole way,
This ole way, this ole way,
Lord, I can't go back home this this ole wayIf you missed the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred milesA 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
