(Utah Phillips)
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? - oh, how can I explain
When my little boy asks me, "Daddy, what's a
train?"
I remember when I was a boy living by the track
Us kids'd gather up the coal
in a great big gunny sack
And then we'd hear the warning sound as the train pulled into
view
And the engineer would smile and wave as she went rolling through
She blew so loud
and clear
That we covered up our ears
And counted cars as high as we could go
I can
almost hear the steam
And the big old drivers scream
With a sound my little boy will never
know
I guess the times have changed and kids are different now
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
And I remember how we memorized the names on railroad cars
The Wabash and
TP
Lackawana and IC
Nickel Plate and the good old Sante Fe
Names out of the
past
And I know they're fading fast
Everytime I hear my son look up and
say
Well, we climbed into the car and drove down into the town
Right up to the depot
house but no one was around
We searched the yard together for something I could show
But I
knew there hadn't been a train for a dozen years or so
All the things I did
When I was
just a kid
How far away the memories appear
And it's plain enough to see
They mean a
lot to me
'Cause my ambition was to be an engineer
