Peter,Paul and Mary did a song with “a thousand miles from my home” in it some where. “ when you hear the train I’m on,You’ll know that I am gone...”
I’m usually in bed for the start of the Canteen, but here I am.
500 MILES

If you miss the train I’m on, you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles,
a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles,
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
Lord I’m one, Lord I’m two, Lord I’m three, Lord I’m four,
Lord I’m 500 miles from my home.
500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles
Lord I’m five hundred miles from my home.
Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
Lord I can’t go a-home this a-way
This a-away, this a-way, this a-way, this a-way,
Lord I can’t go a-home this a-way.
If you miss the train I’m on you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
That’s cause it’s a special night Larry,((((Hugs)))
