Verse 1:
F
Headin' for the station with a pack on my back
    F
I'm tired of transportation in the back of a hack
  Bb
I love to hear the rhythm of the clickety-clack
    F
And hear the lonesome whistle, see the smoke from the stack
    C7
And pal around with democratic fellas named Mac
   F
So take me right back to the track, Jack

Chorus:
Bb
Choo-choo, choo-choo ch'boogie
F
Woo-woo, woo-woo ch'boogie

   Bb F

Verse 2:
    F
You reach your destination, but alas and alack
    F
You need some compensation to get back in the black
    Bb
You take a morning paper from the top of the stack
    F
And read the situations from the front to the back
    C7
The only job that's open needs a man with a knack
   F
So put it right back in the rack, Jack

Chorus:
Bb
Choo-choo, choo-choo ch'boogie
F
Woo-woo, woo-woo ch'boogie

Verse 3:
F
Gonna settle down by the railroad track
F
Live the life of Riley in the beaten down shack
   Bb
So when I hear a whistle, I can peep through the crack
    F
And watch the train a-rollin' when it's ballin' the jack
      C7
Well, I just love the rhythm of the clickety-clack
   F
So take me right back to the track, Jack

Chorus:
Bb
Choo-choo, choo-choo ch'boogie

Louis Jordan (July 8, 1908 – February 4, 1975) was a pioneering African-American jazz and rhythm & blues musician and songwriter who enjoyed his greatest popularity from the late 1930s to the early 1950s. Known as “The King of the Jukebox”, Jordan was highly popular with both black and white audiences in the later years of the swing era.

Jordan was one of the first black recording artists whose popularity crossed over into the mainstream white audience and who scored hits on both the “race” charts and the mainstream white pop charts.
