Well I'm walkin' down the track I got tears in my eyes
Tryin' to read a letter from my home
If that train runs me right, I'll be home tomorrow night
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home
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.
If that train runs right I'll be home tomorrow night
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow

I'dl pawn you my watch, I would pawn you my chain
I'd 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
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow

If my woman says so I will railroad no more
I'll Sidetrack my train and go home
If that train runs right I'll be home tomorrow night
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow

And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow.....
