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
  
  Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
  And the land that I once loved was not my own
  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
  
  A hundred tanks along the square,
  One man stands and stops them never
  Some day soon, the tide will turn, and I’ll be free
  I’ll be free, I’ll be free, I’ll come home to my country,
  Some day soon the tide will turn and I’ll be free
  
  If you miss the train I’m on, you will know that I am gone
  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
  Lord I’m five hundred miles away from home
  I’ll be free, I’ll be free, I’ll come home to my country,
  Lord I’m five hundred miles away from home
  You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
  Lord I’m five hundred miles away from home
