1. 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 ... (4 times)
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
2. 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 ...(4 times)
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home.
3. Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
Lord I can't go back home this away.
This away ... (4 times)
Lord I can't go back home this away.
