C
If you will listen
F C
A song I will sing
About my daddy
G7
Who ran a log train
C
Way down in the southland
F C
In old Alabam'
We lived in a place
G7 C
That they called Chapman Town
And late in the evening
F C
When the sun was low
Way off in the distance
G7
You could hear the train blow
C
The folks would come runnin'
F C
And mama would sing
Get the supper on the table
G7 C
Here comes the log train
Every morning
F C
At the break of day
He'd grab his lunch bucket
G7
And be on his way
C
Winter or summer
F C
Sunshine or rain
Every morning he'd run
G7 C
That old log train
A sweatin' and swearin'
F C
All day long
Shoutin' get up the oxens
G7
Keep movin' along
C
Load'er up boys
F C
'cause it looks like rain
I've got to get rollin'
G7 C
This old log train
This story happened
F C
A long time ago
The log train is silent
G7
God called dad to go
C
But when I get to heaven
F C
To always remain
I'll listen for whistle
G7 C
On the old log train
