| | Daddy, What’s A Train? Lyrics Artist(Band):John Denver
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 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 those memories appear I guess it’s plain to see they still mean a lot to me ’Cause my ambition was to be an engineer 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?’ Words and Music by Bruce “U. Utah” Phillips If you find some error in Daddy, What’s A Train?
