The simple repetitive lyrics offer a lament by a traveler who is far from home, out of money and too ashamed to return. The song is generally credited as being written by Hedy West,[1][2] while some sources also credit Bobby Bare, Curly Williams, and/or John Phillips as co-writers. West is said to have learned a version of the song as a child from her paternal grandmother Lillie Mulkey West. "500 Miles" is thought to be related to the older folk song, "900 Miles," which may itself have origins in a southern American fiddle tune called "Reuben's Train.""500 Miles" is West's "most anthologized song."[4] The first release of the song appears to have been on the 1961 self-titled debut by the Journeymen. It charted as a hit single by American country music singer Bobby Bare in 1963.[4] It has also been recorded by Peter, Paul&Mary, The Kingston Trio, Sonny&Cher, The Hooters, Reba McEntire,The Spies of Life and many others.Five Hundred Miles - lyrics (離家五百里 歌詞)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 five hundred miles a way from home.Away from home, away from home,away from home, away from home,Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from homeNot a shirt on my back, *(1)Not a penny to my name. *(2)Lord, I can't go back home this-a way.This-a way, this-a way,This-a way, this-a way,Lord, I can't go back 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.====Albert Au Shui Keung (Traditional Chinese:區瑞強, Born July 31, 1955 - ) is a Hong Kong English pop and Cantopop singer-songwriter and DJ of RTHK.
