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 hundered miles
a hundred miles a hundered miles
you can hear the whistle blow
a hundred miles

lord i'm one two three four five
lord i'm five hundred miles
away from home

not a shirt on my back
not a penny to my name
lord i can not go home
this a way

this away this away
this away this away
lord i can't go home
this away
