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 five hundred miles from my home.
away from home
Away from home away from home
away from home
Lord I'm five hundred miles from my home.

Not a shirt on my back, *(1) 穷得衣不遮体
Not a penny to my name. *(2) 不名一文
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.

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