[Verse 1]
C F C G7
My ears do ring and my heart does sing when a steam train whistle blows
C F G7 C
And anywhere that train is bound, it's there I too would go
C F C G7
I had a dream the other night interrupted by this sound
C F G7 C
It was the whistle of a southbound freight rolling through my old hometown
C F C G7
I pinched myself, yeah, still alive, and hearing what I heard
C F G7 C
There was one toot and then another and then, by gosh, a third
C F C G7
They echoed through my mind just like a childhood memory
C F G7 C
The dreamy call of an iron horse was reaching out to me
[Chorus 1]
F C G7
I know I'm dreaming, but could it really be?
C F C G7 C
It started seeming that train was there for me
[Verse 2]
C F C G7
That choo-choo chugged through a foggy mist and stopped right where I stood
C F G7 C
I'd hop inside that locomotive if I only could
C F C G7
But this I knew was nothing more than a wishful little dream
C F G7 C
That toot and choo-choo couldn't really be what it had seemed
C F C G7
But then, a dapper man walked up and tipped his hat to me
C F G7 C
Well, in my sleepy state, I wondered who this man could be
C F C G7
He said he came to give my dream a special nice reward
C F G7 C
And with a smile upon his face, he bellowed, "All aboard!"
[Chorus 2]
F C G7
Was this for real or just a fantasy?
