C
If you will listen

  F            C
A song I will sing

About my daddy

               G7
Who ran a log train

    C
Way down in the southland

     F      C
In old Alabam'

We lived in a place

           G7            C
That they called Chapman Town

And late in the evening

      F           C
When the sun was low

Way off in the distance

                          G7
You could hear the train blow

    C
The folks would come runnin'

    F          C
And mama would sing

Get the supper on the table

      G7           C
Here comes the log train

Every morning

       F         C
At the break of day

He'd grab his lunch bucket

              G7
And be on his way

 C
Winter or summer

F            C
Sunshine or rain

Every morning he'd run

 G7          C
That old log train

A sweatin' and swearin'

F        C
All day long

Shoutin' get up the oxens

            G7
Keep movin' along

C
Load'er up boys

           F         C
'cause it looks like rain

I've got to get rollin'

G7           C
This old log train

This story happened

   F        C
A long time ago

The log train is silent

                  G7
God called dad to go

       C
But when I get to heaven

   F       C
To always remain

I'll listen for whistle

  G7           C
On the old log train
