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

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

Lord I’m one, Lord I’m two, Lord I’m three, Lord I’m four

Lord I’m five hundred hundred miles away from home

A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles

You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
