Terry Callier - 900 Miles [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I'm just walking down this track
I've got tears in my eyes
Tryin' to read this letter from my home
If this train runs me right
I'll be home tomorrow night
Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow

The rain that I'm on
Is a thousand coaches long
You can hear that whistle blow a hundred miles
If this train runs me right
I'll be home tomorrow night
I'm nine hundred miles from my home
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow

I'll pawn you my watch
And I'll pawn you my chain;
Pawn you my diamond golden ring
If this train runs me right
I'll be home tomorrow night
I'm nine hundred miles from my home
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow

If my woman says me so
I will railroad no more
I'll sidetrack my wheeler and go home
If this train runs me right
I'll be home tomorrow night
I'm nine hundred miles from my home
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow
