As I listen for the whistle, lie and wait Wish the railroad run so near 'Cause the rattle and clatter of that old fast Keeps on music in my ear, go bum again, go bum again, ooh
Hear the blow, hear the whistle blow 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 back Well if you go, you can't come back, if you go, you come back If you go, you come back
misheard 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 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, hear the whistle 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
So every night I listen, wonder if it's In my I'm ridin' on that train I feel my are beatin' with that old fast freight And the Lord I'm just a bum again, go bum again, go bum again, ooh
Hear the whistle blow, hear the whistle 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 Well if you go, you can't come back, if you go, you come back If you go, you come back
