500 Miles composed by Hedy West (1961).

If you miss the train I’m 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!

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!

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!
Away from home
Away from home
Away from home
Away from home
Lord, I’m five hundred miles away from home!

I told my little letter
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!

My shoes are all worn
My clothes are all torn
Lord I can’t go back home this a-way
