Lyrics
I’m a-walkin’ down the track,
I got tears in my eyes,
Tryin’ to read a letter from my home;
If that train runs right,
I’ll be home tomorrow night,
‘Cause I’m nine hundred miles from my home…
An’ I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow.

I will pawn you my watch
And I’ll pawn you my chain,
I’ll pawn you my gold diamond ring;
If that train runs right,
I’ll be home tomorrow night,
‘Cause I’m nine hundred miles from my home…
An’ I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow.

The train I ride on
Is a hundred coaches long,
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
If that train runs right,
I’ll be home tomorrow night,
‘Cause I’m nine hundred miles from my home…
An’ I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow.

If my woman says so
I’ll railroad no more,
But I’ll sidetrack my train and go home.
If that wheeler runs me right,
I’ll be home tomorrow night,
‘Cause I’m nine hundred miles from my home…
An’ I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow.
