Hear That Whistle Blow (A Hundred Miles) lyrics

Lord, you ought to been uptown And seen that train come down You could hear the whistle blow a hundred miles A hundred miles, a hundred miles A hundred miles, a hundred miles You could hear the whistle blow a hundred miles Oh, I'm walking these ties With tears in my eyes I'm trying to read a letter from home From my home, from my home From my home, from my home I'm trying to read a letter from my home If this train runs right I'll be home saturday night I'm five fundred miles away from my home Away from home, away from home Away from home, away from home I'm five fundred miles away from home You could hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
