I'm walking down the track I got tears in my eyes I'm trying to read a letter鈥協rom鈥卪y home And if鈥卼his train runs me right I'll be鈥卙ome tomorrow night 'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home I鈦焪ill鈦焢awn鈦焬ou my watch I鈦焪ill pawn you鈦焟y chain I will pawn you my gold diamond ring And if that train runs me right I'll see my woman tomorrow night 'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home Lord, this train I am on Is a hundred coaches long You can hear the whistle blow a million miles And if that train runs me right I'll be home tomorrow night 'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home 'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home 'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home
