Five Hundred Miles - Peter, Paul & Mary lyrics

Five Hundred Miles

Written By Bobby Bare & Charlie "Curley" Williams

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

Lord, I'm one, Lord I'm two – Lord, I'm three, Lord I'm four

Lord, I'm 500 miles From my home

500 miles, 500 miles – 500 miles, 500 miles
Lord, I'm 500 miles – From my home

Not a shirt on my back – Not a penny to my name
Lord, I can't go a-home – This a-way

This a-away, this a-way – This a-way, this a-way
Lord, I can't go a-home – This a-way

If you miss the train I'm on – You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow – A hundred miles
