900 Miles Lyrics by Alan Arkin

0

Well, I'm walking down this track
I've got tears in my eyes
Tryin' to read a letter from my home!
If this train runs me right
Lord, I'll be home tomorrow night
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home –
An'I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow!
(Whistle blow!)

Now, this train I ride on
Is a hundred coaches long
You can hear the whistle blow ten thousand miles!
If this train runs me right
Lord, I'll be home tomorrow night
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home –
An'I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow!
(Whistle blow!)

Well, now I'll pawn you my watch
And I'll pawn you my chain
I pawn you my gold diamond ring!
If this train runs me right
Lord, I'll be home tomorrow night
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home –
An'I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow!
(Whistle blow!)

Now, if my woman tells me so
I gonna railroad no more
I'll sidetrack the train and go home!
If this train runs me right
Lord, I'll be home tomorrow night
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home –
An'I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow!
