[1] If you miss the train I'm [6m] on you will [2m] know that I am gone
You can [5] hear the whistle blow a hundred [1] miles

[1] A hundred miles a hundred [6m] miles
A hundred [2m] miles a hundred miles
You can [5] hear the whistle blow a hundred [1] miles

Got no shirt on my back not a penny to my name
Lord I can't go back home this a-way
This a-away this a-way this a-way this a-way
Lord I can't go back home this a-way

Lord I'm walking these ties with tears in my eyes
I'm trying to read a letter from my home
From my home from my home from my home from my home
Lord I'm tryin' to read a letter from my home

If this train's running right I'll be home tomorrow night
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
