Odetta - 900 Miles lyrics

rate me

Walkin' down this railroad track<br />

I got tears in my eyes<br />

Tryin' to read a letter from my home<br />

If this train runs me right<br />

I'll be home tomorrow night<br />

I'm 900 miles from my home<br />

And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow<br />

<br />

Well this train I ride on<br />

Is a hundred coaches long<br />

Hear the whistle blow<br />

A hundred miles<br />

If this train runs me right<br />

I'll be home tomorrow night<br />

'Cause I'm 900 miles from my home<br />

And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow<br />

<br />

Well I'll pawn you my watch<br />

Pawn you my chain<br />

Pawn you my gold and diamond ring<br />

If this train roll me right<br />

I'll be home tomorrow night<br />

'Cause I'm 900 miles from my home<br />

Lord I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow<br />

<br />

I'm walkin' down this railroad track<br />

I got tears in my eyes<br />

Tryin' to read a letter from my home<br />

If this train run me right<br />

I'll be home tomorrow night<br />

As I'm 900 miles from my home<br />

I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow<br />

<br />

Yes I hate to hear<br />

That lonesome whistle blow<br />
