The Basement Tapes - may/october 1967, #1, prev. uncirc.  

But i'm down here on this track
Not a shirt upon my back
I will sell to you this ?ailing that i own
Yes i ?plead? the mails i took
Put 'em down ways on the brook
Lord i'm 900 miles from my home.

If my old lady she says so
I'll railroad no more
Sidetrack this engine back to roam
Yes i've give it in my coal
I've gladly given it all
'Cause i'm 900 miles from my home.

If i get down by the dime?
And the river still does run
Yes and everything i see turns to foam
Even down by this ocean side
Oh she don't wade in just to pay my pride
'Cause i'm 900 miles from my home.

Oh Mary don't you moan
Don't you weep on the ground
Oh Mary don't you weep and don't you moan
If i get myself in line
I will be there in due time
'Cause i'm 900 miles from my home.
