If you miss the train I'm on
Am C
you'll know I am gone
Am C D
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
G e a C
A hundred miles a hundred miles a hundred miles a hundred miles
Am D G
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
If my honey said so I'd railroad no more
I'd sidetrack my engine and go home
And go home and go home and go home and go home
I'd sidetrack my engine and go home
Not a shirt on my back not a penny to my name
Lord I can't make a living this a-way
This a-way this a-way this a-way this a-way
Lord I can't make a living this a-way
I told my little Etta just as plain as I could tell her
She'd better come along and go with me
Go with me go with me go with me go with me
She'd better come along and go with me
Lord I'm one Lord I'm two I'm three Lord I'm four
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
Away from home away from home away from home away from home
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
My shoes are all worn my clothes are all torn
Lord I can't go back home this a-way
This a-way this a-way this a-way this a-way
Lord I can't go back home this a-way
If you miss the train I'm on you'll 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
