500 Miles - Traditional
If you miss train I'm on
Then you'll know that I'll be gone
You can hear that whistle blow five hundred miles
Five hundred miles, five hundred miles
Five hundred miles, five hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow five hundred miles!
Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
And I can't go home this a way
This way, this way,
This way, this way,
I can't go home this way!
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!
Well, if you miss the train I'm one
Then you know that I'll be gone
You can hear the whistle blow five hundred miles!
