The Kingston Trio

The Kingston Trio is an American folk and pop music group that helped launch the folk revival of the late 1950s to late 1960s. The group started as a San Francisco Bay Area nightclub act with an original lineup of Dave Guard, Bob Shane, and Nick Reynolds. It rose to international popularity, fueled by unprecedented sales of 33⅓ rpm long-playing record albums (LPs), and helped to alter the direction of popular music in the U.S. more »

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. Ooh

[Chorus]

So 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. 
Go bum again. Go bum again. Ooh

[Chorus]
