Little Train, Wait for Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Tiny wheels are turning by the station gate I’ve got one red mitten and I’m running late Button up my yellow coat, tuck my scarf in tight Little train, hold on for me, I’m coming down the line [Pre-Chorus] I can hear your cheerful call Bouncing past the paper stall [Chorus] Hey, little train, wait for me I’m waving from the old oak tree Save me a seat by the window frame I’ll hop aboard when you call my name Hey, little train, don’t roll away I’ll be there before the bell can say Round the hill and through the rain Take me with you, little train [Verse 2] Grandma packed an apple and a picture book There’s a silver button hiding in my pocket nook The conductor tips his cap, the doors swing wide I climb up with a happy heart and sit beside the ride [Pre-Chorus] Clouds are drifting soft and slow Green fields wave as we go [Chorus] Hey, little train, wait for me I’m waving from the old oak tree Save me a seat by the window frame I’ll hop aboard when you call my name Hey, little train, don’t roll away I’ll be there before the bell can say Round the hill and through the rain Take me with you, little train [Bridge] Past the farms and past the stream Every mile becomes a dream If you stop at Maple Lane I’ll bring you cookies for the train [Final Chorus] Hey, little train, wait for me I’m waving from the old oak tree Save me a seat by the window frame I’m on board now, you called my name Hey, little train, roll on today Chugging bright along your way Round the hill and through the rain Take me with you, little train [Outro] Little train, little train Homeward humming down the lane
