Lyrics:

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 (4x) 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 (4x) Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home! If my honey said so I'd railroad no more I'd sidetrack my engine and go home! And go home (4x) I'd sidetrack my engine and go home! Not a shirt on my back Not a penny to my name Lord, I can't make a living this a-way! This-a way (4x) Lord, I can't make a living this a-way! I told my little letter Just as plain as I could tell her She'd better come along and go with me! Go with me (4x) She'd better come along and go with me! My shoes are all worn My clothes are all torn Lord I can't go back home this a-way! This-a way (4x) Lord I can't go back home this a-way! If this train runs me right I'll be back tomorrow night I'm coming down the line on number nine! Number nine (4x) I'm coming down the line on number nine! 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 (4x) You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles!
