900 Miles

I am walkin' down this track
 I've got tears in my eyes
 I'm tryin' to read a letter from my home
 An' if this 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
 This train I ride on
 is a hundred coaches long
 Well, you can hear her whistle blow
 a million miles
 An' if this 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 pawn you my wagon
 And I will pawn you my team
 I will pawn you my watch and my chain
 An' if this 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
 That long lonesome train whistlin' down
