The Log Train Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]If you will listen, a song I w[F]ill[C] sing
About my daddy who drove
a log [G]train
[C]Way down in the southland,
[F]in old [C]Alabama
We lived in a place that [G]they call
[C]Chapmantown

[Verse 2]
And late in the [C]evening,
when the [F]sun [C]was low
Way off in the distance you could
hear the train [G]blow
The [C]folks would come runnin',
[F]and Moma would [C]say
"Get the supper on the table,
[G]here comes the log [C]train"

[Verse 3]
[C]
Every mornin', at the [F]break [C]of day
He'd grab his lunchbucket, and
be on his [G]way
[C]Winter or summer, sun[F]shine [C]or rain
Every mornin', he'd run [G]that [C]ole log train

[Verse 4]
A sweatin' [C]an swearin'
[F]all [C]day long
Shoutin', "Get up there oxen,
keep movin' [G]along
Load [C]her up boys,
'cause it [F]looks like [C]rain
I've gotta get rollin', [G]this [C]ole log train"

[Verse 5]
[C]
This story happened, [F]a long time [C]ago
The log train is silent,
God called Dad [G]to go
But when [C]I get to Heaven,
ta al[F]ways remain
[C]I'll listen to the whistle of the[G] ole log tra[C]in
