Lyrics
(Folk song)
Captain, go sidetrack your train,
Captain, go sidetrack your train.
Number three in line,
Coming in on time,
Captain go sidetrack your train.

How is this a call and response song? Do they say chicka hanka?
That is certainly one way to perform it!
There the only lyrics?
I’m sure there are other lyrics out there. Many folk songs have evolved with different lyrics over the years.
