FAST FREIGHT (Terry Gilkyson) As I listen for the whistle, lie awake, and wait, Wish the railroad didn't run so near, For the rattle and the clatter of that old fast freight Keeps a-makin' music in my ear. cho: Go bum again. Go bum again. Hear the whistle blow. Hear the whistle blow. Clickity clack, clickity clack. The wheels are singing to the railroad track: "If you go, you can't come back. If you go, you can't come back. If you go, you can't come back." I wouldn't give a nickel for the bum I use to be, Work as hard as any man in town. I've got a pretty girl. She thinks the world of me. A man would be a fool to let her down. CHO. Every 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. CHO. Recorded by the Easy Riders, the Calypsonians, and most famously by the Kingston Trio, on "The Kingston Trio," 1958. @hobo filename[ FASTFRGT HC Feb07  8note Sheet |
