Fast Freight - The Kingston Trio
As I listen for the whistle lie awake and wait
Wish the railroad didn't run so near
'Cause the rattle and clatter of that old fast
Freight keeps a-makin' music in my ear
Go bum again go bum again oh
Hear the whistle blow hear the whistle blow clickety clack clickety 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 come 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
Well I wouldn't give a nickel for the bum
I use to be work as hard as any man in town
I got a purty gal she thinks the world of me
Man would be a fool to let her down go bum again
Go bum again oh
Hear the whistle blow hear the whistle blow clickety clack clickety 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 come 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
So every night I listen wonder if it's late
In my dreams I'm ridin' on that train
I feel my pulse a-beatin' with that old fast freight and thank the Lord
I'm just a bum again
Go bum again go bum again ooh
Hear the whistle blow hear the whistle blow clickety clack clickety 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 come 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
