A HUNDRED MILES
Bluegrass Messengers from the CD "Diggin' Up Roots"

You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

(Banjo break)

Oh you oughta been uptown, and hear that train come down
You could hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
You could hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.

(instrumental break)

Well I'm walkin' these ties, with tears in my eyes
I'm tryin' to read a letter from my home.
From my home, from my home,
From my home, from my home,
I'm tryin' to read a letter from my home.

(instrumental break)

If that train runs right, I'll be home Saturday night
'Cause I'm five hundred miles away from home.
Away from home, away from home
Away from home, away from home
I'm five hundred miles away from home.

(instrumental break)

If you miss the train I'm on, you could tell that I have gone
You could hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
You could hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

(instrumental break)
