G                         Em                         Am
If you miss the train I'm on you'll know that I have gone you could

C                D              G
hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

G                      Em            Am
Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two, Lord I'm thre--e, Lord I'm four, Lord I'm

Teardrops fell on momma's note when I read

the things she wrote. She said we love you son, we miss you, come on home

Well I'm walking these tracks, with tears all in my eyes

          C      D              G
trying to read a letter from my home

                         Em             Am
If this train is running right, I'll be home tomorrow night ah, but

C                D               G
I'm five hundred miles away from home

G                          Em               Am
A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles a hundred miles
