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
