miss the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow
A hundred miles, yeah, yeah
Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my crying name
Ooh, I know I'll reach that
mountain top
Listen, someday, someway,
someday
Lord, I'll reach that mountainside,
yes, I'll leave her someday
Can't go home, can't go home,
can't go home
You know I can't, I can't go home
Lord I can't go home
This way, this way, this way
Lord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two, Lord, I'm three,
Lord, I'm four, Lord, I'm five, five hundred
Miles from my home
It's this way, it's this way
Lonely back mountain child
Someday, someway
I got to reach it, yeah
Oh, I'll reach that mountaintop someday,
yes I will
