(Hedy West)

If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I have 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.

Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name.
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 you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I have 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.
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
