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