If you missed 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

Not a shirt on my back

Not a penny to my name

And the land that I once loved is not my own

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

A hundred tanks along the square

One man stands and stops them there

Someday soon the tide'll turn and I'll be free

I'll be free, I'll be free

I'll come home to my country

Someday soon the tide'll turn and I'll be free

If you missed the train I'm on

You will know that I am gone

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

Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home

I'll be free, I'll be free

I'll come home to my country

Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home

You can hear the whistle blow five hundred miles
