900 Miles Lyrics

I am walkin' down this track, I got tears in my eyes
I'm ryin' to read a letter from my home

cho:
If that train runs me right, I'll be home Saturday night
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home.
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow.
Well the train I ride on is a hundred coaches long
You can hear the whistle blow a million miles.
cho:
If that train runs me right, I'll see my woman on Saturday night
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home.
Lord, I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow.

I will p*** you my wagon, I will p*** you my team
I'll p*** you my watch and my chain

cho:
If that train runs me right, I'll be home Saturday night
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home.
Lord, I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow.
