As I listen for the whistle, lie awake and Wish the didn't run so near 'Cause the rattle and clatter of that old freight Keeps on makin' in my ear, go bum again, go bum again, ooh
Hear the whistle blow, the whistle blow Clickety clack, clack, the wheels are saying to the railroad track Well, if you go, you can't come back, 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 come back
misheard byJCvP It's not "pulse are It's "pulse a-beatin" And there is NO EXPLICIT 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 whistle blow, the whistle blow Clickety clack, clickety clack, the wheels are saying to the track Well, if you go, you can't come back, if you go, you can't come back Well if you go, you come back, if you go, you can't come back If you go, you come back
So every I listen, wonder if it's late In my dreams I'm ridin' on train I feel my are beatin' with that old fast freight And the Lord I'm just a bum again, go bum again, go bum again, ooh
Hear the whistle blow, hear the blow Clickety clack, 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 come back, if you go, you can't come If you go, you can't back
