Fast Freight

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. 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. Oo-
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. If you go, you can’t come back.
If you go, you can’t come back
So ev’ry 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. Oo-
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. If you go, you can’t come back.
If you go, you can’t come back
