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
