But I'm down here on this track
Not a shirt upon my back
I will sell to you this allen that I own
Yes I feed the mouths I took
But as down winds on the [?]
Lord I'm 900 miles from my home
If my old lady she says so
I'll railroad no more
Sidetrack this engine but I still roam
Yes I've given it my coal
I've gladly given it all
Cause I'm 900 miles from my home
If I get down by the [?] And the river still does run
Yes and everything I see turns to foam
Even down on the ocean side
No she don't wade in just to [?] my pride
Cause I'm 900 miles from my home
Oh Mary don't you moan
Don't you weep all [?] Oh Mary don't you weep and don't you moan
If I get myself in line
I will be there in due time
Cause I'm 900 miles from my home
Not a shirt upon my back
I will sell to you this allen that I own
Yes I feed the mouths I took
But as down winds on the [?]
Lord I'm 900 miles from my home
If my old lady she says so
I'll railroad no more
Sidetrack this engine but I still roam
Yes I've given it my coal
I've gladly given it all
Cause I'm 900 miles from my home
If I get down by the [?] And the river still does run
Yes and everything I see turns to foam
Even down on the ocean side
No she don't wade in just to [?] my pride
Cause I'm 900 miles from my home
Oh Mary don't you moan
Don't you weep all [?] Oh Mary don't you weep and don't you moan
If I get myself in line
I will be there in due time
Cause I'm 900 miles from my home
