900 Miles Lyrics

Woody Guthrie 900 Miles

I am walkin' down this track, I got tears in my eyes I'm ryin' to read a letter from my home

cho: If that train runs me right, I'll be home Saturday night 'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home. And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow.


Well the train I ride on is a hundred coaches long You can hear the whistle blow a million miles.

cho: If that train runs me right, I'll see my woman on Saturday night 'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home. Lord, I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow.

I will pawn you my wagon, I will pawn you my team I'll pawn you my watch and my chain

cho: If that train runs me right, I'll be home Saturday night 'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home. Lord, I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow.
