One of these mornings, it won't be long
Captain's gonna call and I'll be gone
I'll be nine hundred miles away from home

Away from home, Lord, away from home
I'll be nine hundred miles away from home
If I die a Railroad Man

I wanna be buried in the sand
So I can hear old No. 9 as she rolls by
She rolls by, Lordy, she rolls by

Hear old No. 9 as she rolls by
