Joan Baez - 500 Miles (Cover by the Woodgies)

🌼 Hi, we are two swiss/irish sisters. This is our cover of "500 Miles" originally by Bobby Bare.

Lyrics:

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.
A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles,
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.

Finally a humble little cover of the song and not some weird mishmash by some Man I have searched the entire Youtube to find a cover sung in an identical way to that of Joan Baez but didn't find any other than this one! Kudos to the good work!

Very nice. But not written by Joan Baez or Bobby Bare. It was supposedly written by Hedy West. A couple of versions of hers are here on YouTube. The version that got the most air play was probably by Peter, Paul and Mary. There are a lot of versions out there. Great song.
