As I for the whistle, lie awake and wait Wish the railroad run so near 'Cause the rattle and clatter of old fast freight on makin' 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, if you go, you can't come back Well if you go, you can't come back, if you go, you can't come If you go, you come back
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 wouldn't 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
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 come
So every I listen, wonder if it's late In my dreams I'm ridin' on that I feel my pulse are beatin' with that old 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, 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 come
