900 Miles
Traditional
I'm walking down the track
I got tears in my eyes
I'm trying to read a letter from my home
And if this train runs me right
I'll be home tomorrow night
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home
I will pawn you my watch
I will pawn you my chain
I will pawn you my gold diamond ring
And if that train runs me right
I'll see my woman tomorrow night
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home
Lord, this train I am on
Is a hundred coaches long
You can hear the whistle blow a million miles
And if that train runs me right
I'll be home tomorrow night
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home
