If you miss this train I'm on
Then you'll know that I am gone
And you can hear the whistle
Blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
Listen that I'm now
All 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
Well I'm five hundred miles from my home
Five hundred miles, five hundred miles
It's such a long long way
And I feel like I will never reach my home

Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
Lord I can't go home away this ol' way
This ol' way, this ole way
Lord I haven't known
Lord I can't go home away, this ol' way

Because if you miss this train I'm on
Then you know that I am gone
And you can hear the whistle
Blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
Listen that I'm now
All you can hear the whistle
Blow a hundred miles

All you can hear the whistle
Blow well a hundred miles
