The Songs He Sang
Clickety Clack: Lyrics
As performed by Cisco Houston
Traditional???
Appears on:Legacy version:
Clickety clack along along The train is coming achung achung Clickety clack a mile away It hasn't a second of time to stay It sings a noisy rackety song A rickety-rockety-rackety song "Get off the track it isn't where you belong" Over the bridge across the lake A mile a minute it has to make The cinders fall in fiery range The tunnel is waiting to swallow the train It sings a noisy rackety song A rickety-rockety-rackety song "Goodbye goodbye tomorrow will come again" Clickety clack along along The train is coming achung achung Clickety clack a mile away It hasn't a second of time to stay It sings a noisy rackety song A rickety-rockety-rackety song "Get off the track it isn't where you belong"
Nursery Rhymes, Games and Folksongs version:
Clickety clack along along The train is coming achung achung Clickety clack a mile away It hasn't a second of time to stay It sings a noisy rackety song A rickety-rockety-rackety song "Get off that track it isn't where you belong" Over the bridge across the lake Mile a minute it has to make The cinders fall in fiery range The tunnel is waiting to swallow the train It sings a noisy rackety song A rickety-rockety-rackety song "Get off that track it isn't where you belong" Well clickety clack along along That train is coming achung achung Clickety clack a mile away Well he hasn't a second of time to stay He sings a noisy rackety song A rickety-rockety-rackety song "Get off that track it isn't where you belong" He goes over the bridge and across the lake A mile a minute he has to make The cinders fall in fiery range And the tunnel is waiting to swallow the train He sings a noisy rackety song A rickety-rockety-rackety song "Get off that track it isn't where you belong"
Of note:
I love this song, and I think Cisco does too. His perfomance is winning, sparkling, chugging, and full of the energy of the train. However, I can find nothing about this song -- anyone know anything?
And someone does! Clickety-clack Here for some notes and two other versions, one from the one room sod schoolhouse.
