I listen for the whistle, then I lie awake and wait
[Am] I wish the railroad didn't [Em] run so near
The rattle and the clatter of the old fast freight
[B] Is always ringing music [Em] in my ear
Go bum again
I wouldn't give a nickel for the bum I used to be
[Am] I work as hard as any [Em] girl in town
Got a good hearted man
Who thinks the world of me
[Abm] I would be a fool to [Em] let him down
Go bum again
Go bum again
[E] Here we're so [D] low
Here we're [E] so low
[Em] Clickety clack, clickety clack
Wheels are saying to the railroad track
If you go, you can't come back
If you go, [Am]
you [Em] can't come back
So
[Am] [Em]
[B] [Em]
every night I listen
And I wonder if it's late
[Am] In my dreams I'm riding [Em] on that train
I feel my pulse beating with that old fast freight
[B] Thank the Lord I'm just a [Em] bum again
Go bum again
Go bum again
[E] Here the [D] whistle blows
Here [E] the whistle blows
[Em]
Clickety clack, clickety clack
Wheels are saying to the railroad track
If you go, you can't come back
If you go, [Am] you [Em] can't come back
[E] Here [D] the whistle blows
Here the [E] whistle blows
[Em]
[Am] I wish the railroad didn't [Em] run so near
The rattle and the clatter of the old fast freight
[B] Is always ringing music [Em] in my ear
Go bum again
I wouldn't give a nickel for the bum I used to be
[Am] I work as hard as any [Em] girl in town
Got a good hearted man
Who thinks the world of me
