If you miss the train I'm on
You would know that

If you miss the train I'm on
You would 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 away from home

Five hundred miles, five hundred miles
Hundred miles, five hundred miles
You can feel the whistle blow five hundred miles

Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
Lord I can't go home this way, this a-way

This a-way, this a-way
This a-way, this a-way
Lord I can't go home this a-way

If you miss the train I'm on
You would know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
