500 Miles

(album: Look At Us - 1965)

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

Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles
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
Yes I'm three and I'm four
Lord I'm five hundred miles
Away from home
