900 Miles Songtext
von Terry Callier

I am walkin′ down this track
I've got tears in my eyes
I′m tryin' to read a letter from my home

An' if this 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

This train I ride on
Is a hundred coaches long
Well, you can hear her whistle blow
A million miles


An′ if this 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
And I will pawn you my team
I will pawn you my watch and my chain

An′ if this 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
That long lonesome train whistlin′ down
