Shrill Whistles

I’m goin’ where them shrill whistles don’t blow.

Gonna find a new job,

One that I’m needin’ so

Out where them shrill whistles don’t blow.

Sing your song.

Sing it soft and low.

Sing it for your baby

And then I’ll have to go.

Go where them shrill whistles don’t blow.

Now there’s automation

Takin’ over so.

Remember that I worked hard,

Now I have to go.

Goin’ where them shrill whistles don’t blow.

Lost it in the springtime

And now it’s fall.

Lookin’ for a new job

I may not find at all.

I’m goin’ where them shrill whistles don’t blow.
