500 Miles

(album: Travelling With Roger Whittaker - 1974)

If you miss the train I'm on, you'll know I'm 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
I'm five hundred miles from my home

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

A hundred miles, a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
You will hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

Lord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two, I am three, I am four
I'm five hundred miles from my home

Away from home, away from home
Away from home, away from home
I'm five hundred miles away from home

Not a shirt on my back and not a penny to my name
Lord, I can't go back home this a way
This a away, this a way, this a way, this a way
Lord, I can't go back home this a way

Oh, if you miss the train I'm on than you 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
I'm five hundred miles away from home
Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home
