Five Hundred Miles

I heard this popular folk song today in a movie called "inside Llewyn Davis". It's an old song goes back to 1962 performed by The brother Four. 

The lyrics is simple, the song is very easy listening. 

 

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 five hundred miles away from home.

Not a shirt on my back,

Not a penny to my name,

Lord, I can't go back home this away.

This away, this away, this away, this away.

Lord, I can't go back home, this away.

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.
