500 Miles is on an album in my family’s vinyl collection, trotted out now and then when someone needs cheering up. It is a beautiful tune. Gets me misty because my mom used to sing it to me when I was little. Great song to be rocked to.
A singer named Richard Anthony sang a French version you can hear on youtube:

“mom used to sing it to me when I was little.” That is SO sweet. What a lovely memory!
“Richard Anthony sang a French version”
Wow, that is wonderful! I love the completely different lyrics. Thanks for sharing that!
I just added “J’entends Siffler Le Train” to my Spotify playlist “Folk Songs” and “Liked Songs.” Thanks again.
