Hank Williams The Old Log Train Lyrics

The Old Log Train Lyrics

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.
