Oil Tanker Train
INTRO: C G C
CF
The oil tanker train from down on the river
CDGG
In Southern Pacific and Santa Fe names
CF
Would rumble and rattle the old boxcar we lived in
CGC
And I was a kid then and I loved that old train
Loaded with crude oil, headed for town
The boxcar would tremble from the top to the ground
And my mother could feel it even before it came
"Get up son to the window, here comes the oil train"
CHORUS:
FCDGG
The memories we felt in that home by the track
CF
And all these years later it's still stuck in my brain
CGC
Oh I loved that old oil tanker train
CFC
Dad worked for the railroad when I was a kid
DGG
And my fondest memories were things that he did
CFC
And early one Christmas, after Santa Claus came
GC
There 'neath the tree ran a toy tanker train
CHORUS
