WOODY GUTHRIE lyrics - Nine Hundred Miles

Well I'm ridin' on this train, I've got tears in my eyes

Tryin' to read a letter from my home

If this train runs me right, I'll be home tomorrow night

'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home

And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow



Well this train I ride on is a hundred coaches long

You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

If this train runs me right, I'll be home tomorrow night

'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home

And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow



Now if you say so, I will railroad no more

Sidetrack my train and go home

If this train runs me right, I'll be home tomorrow night

'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home

And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow

'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home

And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow.
