900 Miles

This train that I ride, she's 100 coaches long
 You can hear the whistle blow 100 miles
 If this train runs right, I'll see my woman tomorrow night
 I'm 500 miles from my home
 & I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow
 I'll pawn you my watch, I'll pawn you my chain
 I'll pawn you my silver wedding ring
 If this train runs right, I'll see my woman tomorrow night
 I'm 600 miles from my home
 & I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow
 I've got blood on my tracks, I've got tears in my eyes
 Trying to read a letter from my home
 If this train runs right, I'll see my woman tomorrow night
 I'm 800 miles from my home
 & I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow
 I'll do one, I'll do two, I'll do three, I will do four
 I'll do five pills, then no more
 If this train runs right, I'll see my woman tomorrow night
 I'm 900 miles from my home
 & I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow
