Toy Train Lyrics by John Edmond

Immortal Songs

0

Last thing I remember about my daddy
Before he left he bought me a little toy train
And I remember smiling at him sadly
Then before he turned to walk out in the rain

Chorus:

He said son: I'm gonna ride a big toy train
Round the world and back again
But mamma, when’s daddy coming back ?
She said: son he's gonna ride on a big toy train
And he'll be back again
Just as soon as daddy runs out of track

I spend my boyhood days growing up without him
Most of my time I spent looking down the track
And every day I ask my mom about him
Mamma ain’t he had time to make it back

Chorus:

She said son: he's riding a big toy train
Round the world and back again
But mamma, when's daddy coming back ?
She said: son he's riding on a big toy train
And he'll be back again
Just as soon as daddy runs out of track

Ev'ry day I hear that whistle blowin
And ev'ry day I'd watch my mamma turn grey
And I was almost grown when she started go’ín
And it cheered her up before she passed away

Chorus:

I said: mom he’s riding on a big toy train
Round the world and back again
But son, when is daddy coming back ?
I said: mom he's riding on a big toy train
And he’ll be back again
Just as soon as daddy runs out of track

But mamma knew that daddy was'nt coming back

[Lyrics transcribed by The Ghost of Ian Smith in June of 2019]
