I Love The Sound Of A Whistle

I love the sound of a whistle

It always takes me where I wanna go

It picks me up when I am feeling low

When I was just a little lad living in a railroad town

I learned to love the great iron horse and the whistle sound

It´d wake me gently every morn put me to sleep at night

I´d wake up with that whistle sound gentle on my mind

Now you can have your Cadillac or Paris in the spring

But me I´ll take my old slouch hat and the jungle when it rains

Well a pot of brew a boiling on a fire that´s burning bright

And the outward sound of a southern bound screaming through the night

That’s why I love the sound of a whistle

It always takes me where I wanna go

It picks me up when I am feeling low
