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), Lord, I'm four
Lord, I'm five hundred miles from my home

Five hundred miles, five hundred miles
Five hundred miles, five hundred miles
Lord, I'm five hundred miles from my home

Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
Lord, I can't go home 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 will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
