Click Clack Songtext
von Captain Beefheart

Two trains, two railroad tracks
One goin′, and the other one comin' back
There goes my baby on that ole train
I say come back, come back, baby, come back
Click clack, click clack

There′s my baby, wavin' her handkerchief down
My ears stand up when I hear that sound
This time it sounds like it's for keeps
Click clack, click clack

I get down on the ground with the gravel around
I pray to the Lord that the train will stop
Turn right around and never stop
′Til it drop my baby off

Now I had this girl
Threatened to leave me all the time
Maybe you had a girl like that
Have you all the time cryin′


Well, I had this girl
Threatened to leave me all the time
Threatenin' to go down
Go down to New Orleans
And get herself lost and found

Maybe you had a girl like this
She′s always threatenin' to go down to New Orleans
And get herself lost and found
Come on, I′ll play it for ya
Let me tell you 'bout it
Oh yeah, let me tell you ′bout it

There were two railroad tracks
Click clack, click clack
One of them leavin'
And the other one comin' back

I was two tears from you, baby
You were goin′ once
You were goin′ way up the tracks
The train was leavin'
I could see you wavin′ your handkerchief
