Just Another Whistle Stop
The Band
JUST ANOTHER WHISTLE STOP As recorded by The Band (From the 1970 Album STAGE FRIGHT) [Intro] N.. [Verse 1] To all concerned dead or alive The locomotive will arrive Bringin’ souls from all around They’ll be bound for higher ground Look out stranger it’s comin’ through With plenty of room for me and you [Chorus] And it’s just another whistle stop If you don’t quit till we reach the top I’d be much obliged to you [Bridge] Odd man out You know that’s the rule You can scream and you can shout But they’ll only call you a crazy fool Pay no mind to what they say When they’re ’bitter they talk that way [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] I seen a young boy on the run And I seen other children havin’ fun A police siren flashing light I wonder who went down tonight People people where do you go Before you believe in what you know ? [Chorus] It’s just another whistle stop If you don’t quit till we reach the top I’d be much obliged to you [Guitar Solo] N.. [Verse 4] When the trolley is clean out of reach A certain lesson it will teach To grind your ax until it’s dull You’ve got to get it in your skull Tell the people all across the sea Don’t turn your back because it’s free [Chorus] It’s just another whistle stop If you don’t quit till we reach the top I’d I’d be much obliged to you [Bridge] And it’s odd man out You know that’s the rule You can scream and you can shout But they’ll only call you a crazy fool Pay no mind to what you read There’s one way home that’s guaranteed [Outro]
