500 Miles

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, 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 a way 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. (Interlude, repeat first verse)

You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
