Hank Williams - "The Log Train"
3/4 time
[Intro]
C C
| | |
[Verse 1]
C F C
If you will listen a song I will sing
G G7
About my daddy who ran a log train
C F C
Way down in the southland in Ol' Alabam
G C
We lived in a place that they called Chapman Town
[Verse 2]
C F C
And late in the evening when the sun was low
G7
Way off in the distance you could hear the train blow
C F C
The folks would come running and momma would sing
G C
Get the supper on the table, here comes the log train
[Verse 3]
C F C
Every morning at the break of day
G7
He'd grab his lunch bucket and be on his way
C F C
Winter or summer, sunshine or rain
G C
Every morning he'd run that old log train
[Verse 4]
C F C
A sweatin' n' swearin' all day long
G7
Shoutin': "Get up there oxens, keep movin' along"
C F C
Load 'er up boys cause it looks like rain
G C
I've got to get rollin' this old log train
[Verse 5]
C F C
This story happened a long time ago
G
The log train is silent, God called dad to go
C F C
But when I get to heaven, to always remain
G C
I'll listen for the whistle on the old log train
