D G Daddy, what's a train? Is it something I can ride? D E7 A7 Does it carry lots of grown-up folks and little kids inside? D D7 G Is it bigger than our house? Well how can I explain D A7 D When my little boy asks me, Daddy whats a train?
Verse 1
D G When I was just a boy living by the track D E7 A7 Us kids'd gather up the coal in a big ol' big gunny sack, D D7 G And then we'd hear the warning sound as the train pulled into view D A7 D D7 And the engineer would smile and wave as she went rolling through;

(spoken)
G D
She blew so loud and clear that we had to cover up our ears
E7 A
And we counted cars as high as we could go.
D D7 G
I can almost hear the steam and the big old drivers scream
A A7 D
With a sound my little boy will never know.Chorus
D G Daddy, what's a train? Is it something I can ride? D E7 A7 Does it carry lots of grown-up folks and little kids inside? D D7 G Is it bigger than our house? Well how can I explain D A7 D When my little boy asks me, Daddy whats a train?
Verse 2
D G I guess the times have changed and kids are different now; D E7 A7 'Cause some don't even seem to know that milk comes from a cow. D D7 G My little boy can tell the names of all the baseball stars D A7 D And I remember how we memorized the names on railroad cars:

(spoken)
G D
The Wabash and TP, Lackawanna and the IC
E7 A
Nickel Plate and the good old Santa Fe;
D D7 G
Just names out of the past I guess they're fading fast
A A7
Every time I hear my little boy say,Chorus
D G Daddy, what's a train? Is it something I can ride? D E7 A7 Does it carry lots of grown-up folks and little kids inside? D D7 G Is it bigger than our house? Well how can I explain D A7 D When my little boy asks me, Daddy whats a train?
Verse 3
D G We climbed into the car and drove down into town D E7 A7 Right up to the depot house but no one was around. D D7 G We searched the yard together for something I could show D A7 D D7 But I knew there hadn't been a train for a dozen years or so.
Bridge 3
(spoken) G D All the things I did when I was just a kid E7 A How far away those old memories appear, D D7 G I guess it's plain to see they still mean a lot to me D A7 D 'Cause my ambition was to be an engineer.
Chorus
D G Daddy, what's a train? Is it something I can ride? D E7 A7 Does it carry lots of grown-up folks and little kids inside? D D7 G Is it bigger than our house? Well how can I explain D A7 D When my little boy asks me, Daddy whats a train?
