Listening to oldies now.

I remembered when I was a kid, I use to hear lotsa English oldies on the radio, and sometimes my dad would sing this particular song, 500 miles to me almost every night before sleeping.

I really love hearing my dad sing that song, his voice really sounded really soothing. And so that song became my childhood song.

If you missed 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 is 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
Someday soon the tide'll turn and I'll be free
I'll be free, I'll be free
I'll come home to my country
Someday soon the tide'll turn and I'll be free

If you missed 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...

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.

Just listening to the various songs really bring back good memories.

So these are my favourite.
1. Rhythm of the Falling Rain
2. Tom Dooley
3. 500 Miles
4. Sixteen Tons
5. Stand By Me
6. Save the Last Dance For Me
7. Tennessee Waltz
8. Tell Laura I Love Her
9. Corrina Corrina
10. The End of the World
