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
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
away from home
...Away from home
Lord I'm five hundred miles
away from 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 way
Lord I can't ho back home
this a way. 






If you m[C]iss the train I'm [Am]on, you will k[Dm]now that I am g[Dm7]one.
You can h[G7]ear the whistle blow a hundred m[C]iles.
A hundred miles, a hundred m[Am]iles, a hundred m[Dm]iles, a hundred m[Dm7]iles,
You can h[G7]ear the whistle blow a hundred m[C]iles.
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.
Away from home, away from home, away from home, away from home,
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from 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 way, this a way, this a way, this a way,
Lord I can't go back home this a way.
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.
