Review about Roger Miller Doesn't get any better | Reviewer: Mark
------ About the song LITTLE TOY TRAINS performed by Roger Miller
Roger Miller was a man who could think outside the box. I know most of his stuff as silly - "My Uncle used to love me but she died". This is the other side of the spetrum. I also wish more people knew it, I don't know why they don't.
One of those marketing things I guess. I only discovered it a few years ago. Changes the way I see my little boy at X-mas.
The other Christmas song not well known is
"The Secret of Christmas" - Bing Crosby is best
(only) version. Grew up with it. Listen to it. Merry Christmas.
What a precious song | Reviewer: kim morgan
------ About the song LITTLE TOY TRAINS performed by Roger Miller
I remember this song as a young child and I would sing it to my 3 sons during the holidays when I tucked them in the bed. Now I have 2 grandchildren and I can't wait to sing it to them. I'm a huge fan of both Roger Miller and Glen Campbell, their classic songs never grow old.

------ About the song LITTLE TOY TRAINS performed by Roger Miller
This is an endearing and wonderful song no matter who sings it! Roger Miller sings it best however. I have heard it also by the Shaw Brothers. Just know they were a Folk group back in the day. My son loves this song. I have 2 different sets of lyrics for the song. The other mentions drums. My son loves this song as well. I sang it to him when he was about 2 and since this is a boy who has a speech imparement it is wonderful that he sings it now to this very day.

THE SWEETEST CHRISTMAS SONG NO ONE KNOWS | Reviewer: SHAWN
------ About the song LITTLE TOY TRAINS performed by Roger Miller
My mom loves this song and was certain Glen Campbell recorded it, but we have never been able to find it anywhere. We have sung it to other people and they love it, but no one has ever heard it before.I never realized Roger Miller wrote it, but it makes sense. His songs are so simple, but eloquent, just like this one.I love this song and wish more people knew it.
"Chorus" IS correct | Reviewer: Ron
------ About the song King Of The Road performed by Roger Miller
The lyrics are in fact "let," not "lend" and "twelve four-bit room," not "ten full bedroom." Also, this song has no "chorus": This is the first of two verses; there is also a bridge.
This song is one of the best | Reviewer: Joe
------ About the song LITTLE TOY TRAINS performed by Roger Miller
I heard this song when I was a kid in the 70s and it always played in my mind around the holidays. I remembered every line and when my daughter was born I sang it to her every night. Today she is six and every night I still sing this song to her, she loves it and I wished that I could find it to record for her. I always thought that Elvis Presley sang this song, wow what a surprise to find out that it was Roger Miller. I am going to see if I can download it from a site, because it will always remind me of being a young boy on Christmas.
Love This Song | Reviewer: Joe
------ About the song LITTLE TOY TRAINS performed by Roger Miller
I remember this song as a young boy and I always loved it. When my daughter was born I sang it to her everynight and I still do and she is now six. She loves it and sings along with me. I would like to buy it and also buy the sheet music to it so that I can play it on my guitar. Very special to me because it reminds me of how simple and special Christmas is supposed to be.
Love this song!!!! | Reviewer: kathy
------ About the song LITTLE TOY TRAINS performed by Roger Miller
I love the song. When my son was born this was the first song I sang for him. It just suits a little boy.My son is four years old now and he can sing it all by himself.He is a train nut also.We sing this song year round and we sing it nearly every day. It is a very special song in our house.I understand that Roger Miller wrote this song for his own son. I can't think of a better song to write for a little boy.

Almost my favorite Roger Miller Album | Reviewer: Bernice
------ About the song LADY AMERICA performed by Roger Miller
While 'Big River' is my all-time favorite Roger Miller album, this album is right behind. It is a grief to me that Supersongs is not available on CD. This song, Lady America, is so beautiful, and very necessary right now.
