As I listen for the whistle, lie awake and Wish the didn't run so near the rattle and clatter of that old fast freight Keeps on makin' in my ear, go bum again, go bum again, ooh
Hear the whistle blow, hear the blow Clickety clack, clickety clack, the wheels are 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 come back If you go, you come back
misheard byJCvP not "pulse are beatin' 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 hard as any man in I got a pretty gal, she the world of me Man would be a to let her down, go bum again, go bum again, ooh
Hear the whistle blow, hear the blow Clickety clack, clickety clack, the wheels are saying to the railroad Well, if you go, you can't back, well if you go, you can't come back Well if you go, you can't come back, if you go, you come back If you go, you come back
So every I listen, wonder if it's late In my I'm ridin' on that train I feel my pulse are beatin' with that old freight And the Lord I'm just a bum again, go bum again, go bum again, ooh
the whistle blow, hear the whistle blow Clickety clack, clickety clack, the wheels are saying to the railroad Well, if you go, you can't come back, well if you go, you can't come Well if you go, you can't come back, if you go, you can't back If you go, you come back
