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 one, Lord, I'm two, Lord, I'm three, Lord, I'm four,

Away from home, away from home, away from home, away from home,
Am C D7 G

Just a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name.
Am C D7
Lord, I can't go back home this-a way.

This-a way, this-a way, this-a way, this-a way,
Am C D7 G
Lord, I can't go back home this-a way.
