if you miss the train I'm on
you will know that I have gone
you can hear the whistle blow
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 am four
lord i'm five hundred miles from my home

500 miles
500 miles
500 miles
five hundred miles
I am five hundred miles from my home

with no shirt on my back
not a penny to my name
Lord I can't go home this a-way

this a-way
this a-way
this a-way
Lord I can't go home
this a-way
