Odetta - 900 Miles Lyrics

Walking down this railroad trackI got tears in my eyesTrying to read a letter from my homeIf this train runs me rightI'll be home by tomorrow nightI'm 900 miles from my homeAnd I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blowWell this train I ride onIs a hundred coaches longHear the whistle blowA hundred milesIf this train runs me rightI'll be home by tomorrow nightCause I'm 900 miles from my homeAnd I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blowWell I'll pawn you my watchPawn you my chainPawn you my gold and diamond ringIf this train roll me rightI'll be home tomorrow nightCause I'm 900 miles from my homeLord I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blowI'm walking down this railroad trackI got tears in my eyesTrying to read a letter from my homeIf this train run me rightI'll be home tomorrow nightAs I'm 900 miles from my homeI hate to hear that lonesome whistle blowYes I hate to hearThat lonesome whistle blow
