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 500 miles from my home 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles
Lord I'm five hundred miles from my 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-away, this a-way, this a-way, this a-way Lord I can't go back home this a-way [Voice] (Is there another verse we can throw in?) [Judee] (That's all I know.)
