Lyrics of 500 Miles by Peter, Paul and Mary

verse

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

chorus

A hundred miles, a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

verse

Lord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two
Lord, I'm three, Lord, I'm four
Lord, I'm 500 miles from my home

chorus

500 miles, 500 miles
500 miles, 500 miles
Lord, I'm 500 miles from my home

verse

Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
Lord, I can't go home, this away

chorus

This away, this away
This away, this away
Lord, I can't go home, this away

outro

If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Writer(s): Andy West
