Hoyt Axton - Five Hundred Miles

Just the song on a black background. Slower, more mournful version than any other I've heard, but also the best I've heard.

@ReggiesReply @HMichaelH How come we can't get along? I honestly don't see where political discussion from either side had any place here. Reggie I respect your right to your opinion, same as Michael's, but I don't see the need for the venom and it seemed you instigated it. Why was it necessary?

I'm not trying to talk down to either of you, I just ask that you please be respectful at least in the comments on my videos. Thanks.

@HomeDepot20TS ------It is an unfortunate fact of life that there are those among us who are INCAPABLE of getting along. I feel pity for them. I wonder if they actually LISTEN to the words of the songs that attract them.

Thanks for the vid. I enjoyed, WHICH, I think, was your intent.

@idgit2442 Most certainly, glad you did. And it really is unfortunate.

Reading the comments posted to this song reminds me why I should never read the comments posted on anything on youtube.

[HomeDepot20TS]

@rawcer I see what you mean. Its unfortunate, I had no idea it was even going on. Guess YouTube doesn't send the notifications if the comments are replies to other people. Maybe this is why they should.

i wish we still had this man around to sing.

@directorient C'est exact mais la version française chantée par Richard Anthony est une chanson pleurnicharde du début des années 60 qui avait un grand succès sur les pistes de dance comme slow, ce qui est totalement déphasé d'avec la chanson originale d'Hedy West qui l'a composée. Cette version d'Hoyt Axton est véritablement excellente et bien supérieure à Peter, Paul & Mary qui font aussi dans le ton trop geignard, c'est souvent le cas avec Mary Travers..

This song never fails to touch me deep sown somewhere. Beautiful, beautiful song. Haunting, melancholic, just something so perfect for the mood... glad I stumbled across this!

I had not heard Hoyt Axton's version of this wonderful old song before I discovered it here a while back.This is such an incredible song I have always loved the Peter Paul and Mary version since I was a kid. I was recently inspired to attempt to sing it myself. I am very much just an amature singer but I would be pleased if the people who like this song would stop by my channel and give a listen to my rendition.....Terry

@directorient The title of the french version is "J'entends siffler le train".
