Five Hundred Miles

I travelled five hundred miles to get back home
I travelled five hundred dirty miles to get back home
I travelled five hundred miles to get back home
When I got back there every single thing was going wrong

I went to the coal man his face it sure was red
He said some other fella has been sleeping in your bed
I spoke to the coal man his face it sure was red
He said some other fella has been sleeping in your bed
I walked five hundred miles to get back home
When I got back there every single thing was going wrong

I walked five hundred miles to get back home
I walked five hundred dirty miles to get back home
I walked five hundred miles to get back home
When I got back there every single thing was going wrong

I spoke to the preacher his face it sure was red
He was the man that's been sleeping in my bed
I spoke to the preacher his face it sure was red
He said "I am the man that's been sleeping in your bed"
