Lyrics:

Well I’m down here on this track
Not a shirt upon my back
I will sail to you this sailing that I own
Yes, I'll feed the ?? I took
But ??
Lord, I’m nine hundred miles from my home

If my own lady she says so
I’ll railroad no more
Sidetrack this engine ?? to roam
Yes, I’m giving it my coal
I’ll gladly giving it all
Cause I'm nine hundred 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
Cause he don’t wait just to pay my bribe
Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home

Oh, Mary don’t you moan
Don’t you weep all about
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 nine hundred miles from my home
