Walkin' down this railroad track   I 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   I'm 900 miles from my home   And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow      Well this train I ride on   Is a hundred coaches long   Hear the whistle blow   A hundred miles   If this train runs me right   I'll be home tomorrow night   'Cause I'm 900 miles from my home   And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow      Well I'll pawn you my watch   Pawn you my chain   Pawn you my gold and diamond ring   If this train roll me right   I'll be home tomorrow night   'Cause I'm 900 miles from my home   Lord I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow      I'm walkin' down this railroad track   I got tears in my eyes   Tryin' to read a letter from my home   If this train run me right   I'll be home tomorrow night   As I'm 900 miles from my home   I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow      Yes I hate to hear   That lonesome whistle blow
