I'm looking for a traditional (I think) version of 500 Miles. Has the line--not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name... Thanks.

THis is the version recorded by Peter Paul & Mary,
which is the first version I became familiar with.

Another version which was very popular when I was a teenager, growing up in England, was the French version by the dishy Richard Anthony, as "J'entends siffler le train": not a direct translation of the American version, and probably even sadder - here:

J’entends Siffler le Train                        Richard Anthony

J'ai pensé qu'il valait mieux
Nous quitter sans un adieu.
Je n'aurais pas eu la peine de te revoir...
Mais j'entends siffler le train, {2x}
Que c’est triste un train qui siffle dans le soir...

Je pouvais t'imaginer, toute seule, abandonnée
Sur le quai, dans la cohue des "au revoir".
Et j'entends siffler le train, {2x}
Que c'est triste un train qui siffle dans le soir...

J'ai failli courir vers toi, j'ai failli crier vers toi.
C'est à peine si j'ai pu me retenir !
Que c'est loin où tu t'en vas, {2x}
Auras-tu jamais le temps de revenir ?

J'ai pensé qu'il valait mieux
Nous quitter sans un adieu,
Mais je sens que maintenant tout est fini !
Et j'entends siffler le train, {2x}
J'entendrai siffler ce train toute ma vie... {2x}
