Lyrics:


Well I'm walkin' down the track,
I got tears in my eyes,
Tryin' to read a letter from my home.
Chorus
    If that train runs me right,
    I'll be home tomorrow night
    'Cause it's nine hundred miles
        where I'm goin'
    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
    hundred miles.
Chorus

I will pawn you my watch,
I will pawn you my chain,
Pawn you my gold diamond ring.
Chorus

If my woman says so,
I will railroad no more,
But I'll sidetrack my train and come home.
Chorus
