As I listen for the whistle, lie and wait Wish the railroad didn't run so the rattle and clatter of that old fast freight Keeps on music in my ear, go bum again, go bum again, ooh
Hear the whistle blow, the whistle blow clack, clickety clack, the wheels are saying to the railroad track Well, if you go, you come back, well if you go, you can't come back Well if you go, you can't back, if you go, you can't come back If you go, you can't back
misheard byJCvP It's not "pulse are beatin' It's "pulse a-beatin" And there is NO LANGUAGE. In this song, "bum" means a person who doesn't work for a living, and… See all Well, I wouldn't give a nickel for the bum I use to be Work as as any man in town I got a gal, she thinks the world of me Man be a fool to let her down, go bum again, go bum again, ooh
Hear the blow, hear the whistle blow Clickety clack, clickety clack, the are saying to the railroad track Well, if you go, you can't come back, well if you go, you come back Well if you go, you can't come back, if you go, you can't back If you go, you can't back
So night I listen, wonder if it's late In my dreams I'm on that train I my pulse are beatin' with that old fast freight And thank the I'm just a bum again, go bum again, go bum again, ooh
Hear the whistle blow, the whistle blow Clickety clack, clickety clack, the are saying to the railroad track Well, if you go, you come back, well if you go, you can't come back Well if you go, you can't come back, if you go, you can't come If you go, you can't come
