Lyrics:
Lord, I’ll pawn you my watch
And I’ll pawn you my chain
Pawn you my gold diamond ring

That gold same
My little woman’s bind
I’ll pawn you my wagon
And my team

You can count the days I’m gone
On the train that I left on
You can hear the whistle blow
Hundred miles

If that train runs right
I’ll be more tomorrow night
Lord, I’m nine hundred miles
From my home

I used to have a woman
She would walk and talk with me
Now she loves sitting
On some other rounder’s knee

And she done told him
What she won’t tell me
And I hate to hear
That lonesome whistle blow

I went down to the depot
Lord, not many days ago
Got on my train
And the train went a-flyin’

I looked back behind
And my baby was a-cryin’
And he’s gone
And left me alone

You can count the days I’m gone
On some train that I left on
You can hear the whistle blow
Hundred miles

If that train runs right
She’ll be gone tomorrow night
Lord, I’m nine hundred miles
Away from home
