Five Hundred Miles

My Favorite Childhood Song...
Heartfelt Thanks to all the Nuns at my school for inculcating in my mind
Love of good music...

Five Hundred Miles...
Peter, Paul & Mary.

If you miss the train Im 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.

Lord Im one, lord Im two,
lord Im three, lord Im four,
Lord Im 500 miles
away from my home.

500 miles, 500 miles,
500 miles, 500 miles
Lord Im five hundred miles
away from my home.

Not a shirt on my back,
not a penny to my name
Lord I cant go a-home this a-way

This a-away, this a-way,
this a-way, this a-way,
Lord I cant go a-home
this a-way.

If you miss the train Im on
you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow
a hundred miles.....
