Tom T Hall - Fox Hollow's Animal Train lyrics

rate me

(Tom T. Hall)

When we took off we almost had a critter of each kind

We had a duckbill platypus and we had big ole lion

We had a horse with two front teeth and a monkey on a chain

Ridin' on Fox Hollow's Animal Train.

Well the skunk got off in Skenectady we's glad to see him go

The duck got off in Kentucky and the bear got off in Buffalo

The horse got off in Austin the mink got off in Maine

Ridin' on Fox Hollow's Animal Train.

Well the cat jumped on the kangaroo and the elephant fell down

The monkey blew the whistle everytime we passed a town

The lion fell asleep and left his tail out in the rain

A ridin' on Fox Hollow's Animal Train.

The beaver lost his toothbrush and the zebra lost his shirt

The possum played the banjo and the pig played in the dirt

We got off in Nashville just to play this little song

Fox Hollow's Animal Train keeps movin' on.

And now the possum will play the banjo.

--- Instrumental ---

If you hear this train a comin' you just listen for this sound

That means that we're in town

Get on board and we'll all laugh and play some silly games

Ridin' on Fox Hollow's Animal Train...
