If you miss the train I'm one,
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 from my home
Five hundred miles, five hundred miles,
Five hundred miles, five hundred miles,
Lord I'm five hundred miles from my home
Lord I can't go home this away
Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
Lord I can't go home this way five hundred miles
If you miss the traim I'm one
You will know that I am gone,
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
