500 Miles By Hedy West<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you miss the train I’m on
\nYou will know that I am gone
\nYou can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles!
\nA hundred miles
\nA hundred miles
\nA hundred miles
\nA hundred miles
\nYou can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles!<\/p>\n

If my honey said so
\nI’d railroad no more
\nI’d sidetrack my engine and go home!
\nAnd go home
\nAnd go home
\nAnd go home
\nAnd go home
\nI’d sidetrack my engine and go home!<\/p>\n

Lord, I’m one, Lord, I’m two
\nLord, I’m three, Lord, I’m four
\nLord, I’m five hundred miles away from home!
\nAway from home
\nAway from home
\nAway from home
\nAway from home
\nLord, I’m five hundred miles away from home!<\/p>\n

I told my little letter
\nJust as plain as I could tell her
\nShe’d better come along and go with me!
\nGo with me
\nGo with me
\nGo with me
\nGo with me
\nShe’d better come along and go with me!<\/p>\n

My clothes are all worn
\nMy shoes are all torn
\nLord, I can’t make a living this a-way!
\nThis-a way
\nThis-a way
\nThis-a way
\nThis-a way
\nLord, I can’t make a living this a-way!<\/p>\n

If this train runs me right
\nI’ll be back tomorrow night
\nI’m coming down the line on number nine!
\nNumber nine
\nNumber nine
\nNumber nine
\nNumber nine
\nFor I’m coming down the line on number nine!<\/p>\n

Not a shirt on my back
\nNot a penny to my name
\nLord I can’t go back home this a-way!
\nThis-a way
\nThis-a way
\nThis-a way
\nThis-a way
\nLord I can’t go back home this a-way!<\/p>\n

If you miss the train I’m on
\nYou will know that I am gone
\nYou can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles!
\nA hundred miles
\nA hundred miles
\nA hundred miles
\nA hundred miles
\nYou can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles!<\/p>\n\n
