About

“500 Miles” (also known as “500 Miles Away from Home” or “Railroaders' Lament”) was made popular in the United States and Europe during the 1960s folk revival. The simple repetitive lyrics offer a lament by a traveller who is far from home, out of money and too ashamed to return.

500 Miles Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

[Verse 2]
Lord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two, Lord, I'm three, Lord, I'm four
Lord, I'm five hundred miles from my home
Five hundred miles, five hundred miles
Five hundred miles, five hundred miles
Lord, I'm five hundred miles from my home

[Verse 3]
Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
Lord, I can't go a-home this a-way
This a-way, this a-way, this a-way, this a-way
Lord, I can't go a-home this a-way

[Verse 4]
If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
