Fast Freight

Am

     Am
As I listen for the whistle, Lie awake and wait,
                             Em7 Am
Wish the railroad didn't run so  near.
'Cause the rattle and the clatter of that old fast freight,
E7                         Am
Keeps a makin' music in my ear.
Go bum again... Go bum again.

A                G                       A    Am
Hear the whistle blow...Hear the whistle blow.
Am
Click-e-ty clack, Click-e-ty clack,
Am
The wheels are sayin' to the railroad track.
Am
Well, if you go, you can't come back,
Am
Well, if you go, you can't come back.
Am
Well, if you go, you can't come back,
Am
If you go, you can't come back.
Am          Em7 Am
If you go...You can't come back.

       Am
Well I wouldn't give a nickel for the bum I used to be.
                        Em7 Am
Work as hard as any man in  town.
I got a purty gal, she thinks the world of me.
  E7                             Am
A man would be a fool to let her down.
Go bum again... Go bum again.

A                G                       A   Am
Hear the whistle blow...Hear the whistle blow.
Am
Click-e-ty clack, Click-e-ty clack,

The wheels are sayin' 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.

   Am
So ev'ry night I listen, wonder if it's late,
                           Em7  Am
In my dreams I'm ridin' on that train.
I feel my pulse a beatin' with that old fast freight,
    E7                              Am
And thank the Lord I'm just a bum a-gain.
Go bum again... Go bum again.

A                G                       A    Am
Hear the whistle blow...Hear the whistle blow.

If you go...You can't come back.
