Fast Freight — текст песни (Kingston Trio)

Terry Gilkyson

As I listen for the whistle, lie awake and wait. Wish the railroad didn`t run so near,
`Cause the rattle and clatter of that old fast freight keeps a-makin` music in my ear. Go bum again. Go bum again. Oo-

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. 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-

(Chorus)

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-

(Chorus)
