Peter Paul and Mary, 500 Miles

Peter Paul and Mary, 500 Miles
Lyrics:

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 500 miles from my home.
500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles
Lord I'm five hundred miles from my home.

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

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

i didnt know this song was this old...i sang this song for choir in the sixth grade 4 years ago

[cschoon1213]

Oh yes indeed !

It was first recorded in 1961 and then in 1962 by The Journeymen and by The Kingston Trio. Old old song !

[LDNisILuvCorndogs]

My mum used to sing this to me in broken English when I moved from Korea to the Manchester. Good memories. :)

[cschoon1213]

Oh yes! Been listening to the Seekers since I was in college many years ago.

If this one touches you, listen to Judith Durham and the Seekers...
