If you missed 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      Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name   And the land that I once loved is not my own   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      A hundred tanks along the square, one man stands and stops them there   Someday soon the tide'll turn and I'll be free   Well I'll be free, I'll be free, I'll come home to my country   Someday soon the tide'll turn and I'll be free      If you missed the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone   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 away from home   Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home, yea      Well I'll be free, I'll be free, I'll come home to my country   Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home   You can hear the whistle blow five hundred miles   Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
