If you miss the train I'm on,
you will know, that I am gone
you can hear the whistle blow one hundred miles
One hundred miles, one hundred miles, one hundred miles
you can hear the whistle blow one hundred miles
 
Lord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two,
Lord, I'm three, Lord, I'm four
Lord, I'm five hundred miles from my home
Five hundred miles ...
 
Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
Lord, I can't go home this-a-way
This-a-way ...
 
If you miss the train I'm on ...
