The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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, a hundred miles

A hundred miles, a hundred miles

Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home

Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two

Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four

Lord I'm five hundred miles

From my home

Five hundred miles, five hundred miles

Five hundred miles, five hundred miles

Lord I'm five hundred miles from my home

Not a shirt on my back

Not a penny to my name

Lord I can't go home this a way

This a way, this a way

This a way, this a way

Lord I can't go home this a way

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, a hundred miles

A hundred miles, a hundred miles

Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
