Eliza Gilkyson - Fast Freight lyrics

(Verse) 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 (Chorus) Hear the whistle blow x2 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 (Instrumental break) sponsored links (Verse) 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 (Chorus x2) Hear the whistle blow x2 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
