If you miss the train I'm on
You will know that I have 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
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 have 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
You can hear the whistle blow
A hundred miles
