As I listen for the whistle, lie and wait 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, hear the whistle Clickety clack, clack, the wheels are saying to the railroad track Well, if you go, you can't come back, well if you go, you can't back Well if you go, you come 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 EXPLICIT LANGUAGE. In this song, "bum" means a person who doesn't work for a living, and… See all Well, I 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 would be a to let her down, go bum again, go bum again, ooh
the whistle blow, hear the whistle blow Clickety clack, clack, the wheels 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 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 with that old fast freight And thank the I'm just a bum again, go bum again, go bum again, ooh
Hear the blow, hear the whistle blow Clickety clack, clack, the wheels are saying to the railroad track Well, if you go, you can't 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
