As I listen for the whistle, lie and wait the railroad didn't run so near 'Cause the and clatter of that old fast freight Keeps on music in my ear, go bum again, go bum again, ooh
Hear the blow, hear the whistle blow Clickety clack, clickety clack, the wheels are saying to the track 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 come back If you go, you come back
misheard byJCvP It's 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, 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 pretty gal, she thinks the of me Man would be a to let her down, 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 can't come back, if you go, you can't come back if you go, you can't come back, if you go, you can't come back If you go, you can't back
So every night I listen, wonder if late In my dreams I'm on that train I feel my pulse are beatin' that old fast freight And thank the Lord I'm a bum again, 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 back, well if you go, you can't come back if you go, you can't come back, if you go, you can't come back If you go, you can't come
