```
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
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
Five hundred miles, five hundred miles
Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
Lord, I can't go a-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
A hundred miles, 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
Five hundred miles, five hundred miles
Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
Lord, I can't go a-home this a-way
```
