500 Miles - Peter, Paul and Mary
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 500 miles from my home.
500 miles, 500 miles,
500 miles, 500 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 a home this away
This away, this away, this away, this away,
Lord I can't go a home this away.
If you miss the train I'm on
you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
