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
