Five hundred miles

If you miss 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 a way from home

Away from home away from home

Away from home away from home

Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home

Not a shirt on my back

Not a penny to my name

Lord I can't go back home this a way

This a way this a way

This a way this a way

Lord I can't go back home this a way

If you miss the train I'm on

You will know that I am gone

You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
