Lyrics

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 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! Away from home Away from home Away from home Away from home Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home! If my honey said so I'd railroad no more I'd sidetrack my engine and go home! And go home And go home And go home And go home I'd sidetrack my engine and go home! Not a shirt on my back Not a penny to my name Lord, I can't make a living this a-way! This-a way This-a way This-a way This-a way Lord, I can't make a living this a-way! I told my little letter Just as plain as I could tell her She'd better come along and go with me! Go with me Go with me Go with me Go with me She'd better come along and go with me! My shoes are all worn My clothes are all torn Lord I can't go back home this a-way! This-a way This-a way This-a way This-a way Lord I can't go back home this a-way! If this train runs me right I'll be back tomorrow night I'm coming down the line on number nine! Number nine Number nine Number nine Number nine I'm coming down the line on number nine! 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 hundred miles A hundred miles A hundred miles You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles!
