The Kingston Trio — Fast Freight

[Verse 1] As I listen for the whistle, lie awake and wait Wish the railroad didn't run so near 'Cause the rattle and the clatter of that old fast freight Keeps a-makin' music in my ear Go bum again Go bum again [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Well, I wouldn't give a nickel for the bum I used to be Work as hard as any man in town I got a pretty gal, she thinks the world of me Man I'd be a fool to let her down Go bum again Go bum again [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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
