If you miss the train I'm on,
you can tell that I am gone.
You can hear the whistle blow
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
You can hear the whistle blow,
Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two, Lord I'm three,
Lord I'm four, Lord, I'm 500 miles from my home
Lord, I'm 500 miles from my home
Lord, I just can't go back home
This old way, this old way,
this old way, oh this old way
Lord, I just can't go back
If you miss the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow
you can hear the whistle blow,
