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

If you miss the train I'm on
Then you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow
Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow
Five hundred miles

Not a shirt on my back
Nor a penny to my name
Lord I can't go home this a way
This a way
This a way
This a way
This a way
Lord I can't go home
This a way

Lord I'm one
Lord I'm two
Lord I'm three
Oh, Lord I'm four
God I'm five hundred miles
Away from home

Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles
Ah, five hundred miles
Oh, I'm five hundred miles
Away from my home

If you miss the train I'm on
Then you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow
A hundred miles

Yes I'm one
Yes I'm two
Oh, I'm three
And I'm four
Lord I'm five hundred miles
Away from home

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
