Lyrics and translation
Original
Well, I'm going down the track, I got tears in my eyes.
Gonna read a letter from my home. If this train runs me right, I'll be home by tomorrow night.
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home.
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home, and I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow.
Oh, this train I ride on is a hundred coaches long.
Hear the whistle blow a hundred miles. Well, if this train runs me right, I'll be home by Saturday night.
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home.
I will pawn you my watch, I will pawn you my chain. Pawn you my gold and diamond ring.
If this train runs me right, I'll be home by 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.
I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow.
I hate to hear that lonesome blow whistle
