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.
Not a shirt on my back,
Not a penny to my name,
Lord, I can't go back home this ol'way.
This ol'way, this way, this way, this ol' way.
Lord, I can't go back home, this away.
Instrumental music
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.
Five hundred miles, Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles, Five hundred miles
Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home.
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.

Instrumental music
Five hundred miles, Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles, Five hundred miles
Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home.
