Fast freight


I listen for the whistle and I lay awake and wait
I wish the railroad didn't run so near
The rattle and the clatter of the old fast freigh
Always ringing music in my ear, go bum, again

I wouldn't give a nickel for the bum I used to be
I work as hard as any golden time
Got a good-hearted man who thinks the world of me
I would be a fool to let him down, go bum again x2

Hear the whistle blow
Hear the whistle blow
Cliggly clap, cloggly clap
Wheels of sand and railroad tracks
If you go, you can't come back
If you go, you can't come back

So every night I listen and I wonder if it's late
In my dreams I'm riding on the train
I feel my pulse beatin' with that old fast freight
Thank the lord I'm just a bum again, go bum again x2
Hear the whistle blow
Hear the whistle blow
Cliggly clap, cloggly clap
Wheels of sand and railroad tracks
If you go, you can't come back
If you go, you can't come back
Hear the whistle blow
Hear the whistle blow
Cliggly clap, cloggly clap
Wheels of sand and railroad tracks
If you go, you can't come back
If you go, you can't come back

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
