100 MILES ?

民歌與民謠的內容常以描繪民間事物為題, 多源自耳聞, 口述或傳言成曲而流行, 所以很難找岀它的原作者或岀處,
一首1909年作者不詳的 "小提琴 Violin" 與 "五弦琴 Banjo" 樂譜 "Reuben's Train" 與另一民歌 "Train 45", 由兩者而引發靈感,
繼而撰寫成多首同義而不同演譯的民歌作品。

REUBEN'S TRAIN- THE BILLARDS
Oh Reuben made a train & he put it on a track
He ran it to the Lord knows where
Oh me, oh my ran it to the Lord knows where

Should been in town when Reuben's train went down
You could hear that whistle blow 100 miles
Oh me, oh my you could hear the whistle blow 100 miles

Last night I lay in jail had no money to go my bail
Lord how it sleeted & it snowed
Oh me, oh my Lord how it sleeted & it snowed

I've been to the East, I've been to the West
I'm going where the chilly winds don't blow
Oh me, oh my I'm going where the chilly winds don't blow

Oh the train that I ride is 100 coaches long
You can hear the whistle blow 100 miles
Oh me, oh my you can hear the whistle blow 100 miles

I got myself a blade, laid Reuben in the shade,
I'm startin' me a graveyard of my own.
Oh, me, oh lordy my, startin' me a graveyard of my own.

TRAIN 45 - WOODY GUTHRIE - 1944
The train I ride on is a hundred couches long,
you can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
If that train runs 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.

I'm walkin down the track I got tears in my eyes,
tryin to read a letter from my home.
If that train runs right, I'll see my woman same that night,
cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home
and I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow.

900 MILES?

Fiddlin' John Carson
"REUBEN'S TRAIN"
"TRAIN 45"
之後, 由這兩首樂曲而引發靈感, 再而撰寫成日後的民歌作品, 影響到60年代美國南方的民歌復興,
當年的民歌多以環繞著鐵路生活的寫照, 抒述遠離家鄉的鐵路工人, 每天幸勞地工作, 不知何時能衣錦還鄉, 唱出遊子思鄉的心聲與哀鳴 ....

900 MILES - BARBARA DANE - 1961
I’m a walking down the track,
I’ve got tears in my eyes,
I’m tryin’ to read a letter from my home;
If that train runs me right,
I’ll be home Saturday night,
‘Cause I’m nine hundred miles from my home.
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow,
That long lonesome train whistlin’ down.

Well this train I ride on,
Is a hundred coaches long,
You can hear her whistle blow a hundred miles;
And if this train runs me right,
I’ll see my woman Saturday night,
‘Cause I’m nine hundred miles from my home.
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow,
That long lonesome train whistlin’ down.

I will pawn you my wagon,
I will pawn you my team,
I will pawn you my watch and my chain;
And if tins train runs me right,
I’ll be home Saturday night,
‘Cause I’m nine hundred miles from my home.
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow,
That long lonesome train whistlin’ down.

500 MILES - HEDY WEST - 1963 VERSION
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 away from home.
Away from home, away from home, away from home, away from home,
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home.

Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name,
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.

500 MILES AWAY FROM HOME - BOBBY BARE
I'm 500 miles away from home
Teardrops fell on momma's note
When I read the things she wrote
She said we miss you son we love you come on home
Well I didn't have to pack
I had it all right on my back
Now I'm 500 miles away from home
Away from home away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, I'm 500 miles away from home

I know this is the same road I took the day I left home,
But it sure looks different now.
And I guess I look different too, cause time changes everything.
I wonder what they'll say, when they see their boy looking this bad.

Oh I wonder what they'll say when I get home
Can't remember when I ate
It's just thumb and walk and wait
And I'm still 500 miles away from home
If my luck had been just right
I'd be with them all tonight
But I'm 500 miles away from home
Away from home away from home
Oh I'm still 500 miles away from home

誰願意離開自已的家與國呢? 為生活或求學? 但最難受的還是離開後, 不知何時才能夠回家 ? !
一首家喻戶曉的民歌, 樂迷或初學民歌演奏必認識的一首歌曲, 曾經給很多歌手翻唱。
樂隊 "The Hooters" 重新演繹, 歌詞中並加上一段六四事件發生後, 對一些年青學生因被當權者搜補,
被迫岀走自己的國家, 寄以同情與勉勵, 願他們有重返自己國土的一天 !

500 MILES - 89.6.4 Tiananmen Square Massacre Version
THE HOOTERS
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

Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
And the land that I once loved was not my own
Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two, Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four,
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home

A hundred tanks along the square,
One man stands and stops them there
Some day soon, the tide will turn, and I'll be free
I'll be free, I'll be free, I'll come home to my country,
Some day soon the tide will turn and I'll be free

If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone
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 away from home
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home, yeah
I'll be free, I'll be free, I'll come home to my country,
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
You can hear the whistle blow five hundred miles
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
