Hank Williams - "The Log Train" 3/4 time [Intro] | C | C | [Verse 1]
C                    F           C
If you will listen a song I will sing

                             G      G7
About my daddy who ran a log train

    C                            F       C
Way down in the southland in Ol' Alabam

                              G              C
We lived in a place that they called Chapman Town
[Verse 2]
C                                F       C
And late in the evening when the sun was low

                                                 G7
Way off in the distance you could hear the train blow

    C                            F           C
The folks would come running and momma would sing

                                  G                 C
Get the supper on the table, here comes the log train
[Verse 3]
C                    F        C
Every morning at the break of day

                                         G7
He'd grab his lunch bucket and be on his way

C                    F         C
Winter or summer, sunshine or rain

                            G       C
Every morning he'd run that old log train
[Verse 4]
C                       F       C
A sweatin' n' swearin' all day long

                                            G7
Shoutin': "Get up there oxens, keep movin' along"

C                         F          C
Load 'er up boys cause it looks like rain

                             G       C
I've got to get rollin' this old log train
[Verse 5]
C                     F          C
This story happened a long time ago

                                           G
The log train is silent, God called dad to go

         C                   F         C
But when I get to heaven, to always remain

                                   G           C
I'll listen for the whistle on the old log train
