The Old Log Train Lyrics - Hank Williams

Hank williams sr. 

(d) if you will listen a (g) song I will (d) sing 

About my daddy who ran a log (a) train 

Way (d) down in the southland in (g) old ala- (d) bam 

We lived in a place that they (a) call chatmantown. 

And late in the evening when the sun was low 

Way off in the distance you could hear the train blow 

The boys would come runnin' and mamma would sing, 

"get the supper on the table here comes the log train".

Every morning at the break of day 

He'd grab his lunch bucket and be on his way 

In winter or summer, sunshine or rain 

Every mornin' he'd run that old log train. 

A sweatin' and swearin' all day long 

Shoutin' "git-up there oxen, keep movin' along, 

Load îer up boys îcause it looks like rain, 

I've got get rollin' this old log train.

This story happened a long time ago 

The log train is silent, God called daddy to go 

But when I get to heaven to always remain 

I'll listen for the whistle of the old log train.
