Daddy, what's a train? Is it something I can ride?
Does it carry lots of
grown-up folks and little kids inside?
Is it bigger than our house? Well how can I
explain
When my little boy and girl ask me ‘Daddy, what's a
train?'
When I was just a boy and living by the track
Us kids would gather up the coal
in big 'ole gunnysacks
Then we heard the warning sound as the train pulled into view
The
engineer would smile and wave as she went rolling through
She blew so loud and clear, we
had to cover up our ears
And we counted cars just as high as we could go
I can almost hear
the steam those big old drivers scream
A sound my little kids will never know
Daddy,
what's a train? Is it something I can ride?
Does it carry lots of grown-up folks and little kids
inside?
Is it bigger than our house? Well how can I explain
When my little boy and girl ask
me ‘Daddy, what's a train?'
I guess the times have changed, kids are
different now
‘Cause some don't even seem to know that milk comes from a
cow
My little boy can tell the names of all the baseball stars
I remember how we memorized
the names on railroad cars
The Wabash and the TP, Lackawanna, the IC
The Nichel-Plate
and the good old Santa Fe
Just names out of the past, I guess they're fading fast
Every time
I hear my little boy say
Daddy, what's a train? Is it something I can ride?
Does it
carry lots of grown-up folks and little kids inside?
Is it bigger than our house? Well how can I
explain
When my little boy and girl ask me ‘Daddy, what's a
train?'
We climbed into the car, drove down into town | | | |
