about

Everyone has heard the song 500 Miles. Countless versions of the tune have been made and it has also been translated into Finnish language under the name Childhood Faith. The song became famous in the 60's with its many folk interpretations, but the song is based on an older traditional folk song called 900 Miles, which e.g. Cisco Houston performed among his railroad and cowboy-themed songs. Woody Guthrie is said to have learned the song from his shoeshine kid in Okemah, Oklahoma.

The song was originally written by Barkin ’Benny and the original context was related to a situation where Barkin’ Benny was piloting Puritans from Europe to the new continent. In his new version, Barkin ’Benny quotes the most well-known verse from the song in popular culture.
