I've Got a Thing About Trains - chords, tab and comments
Lyrics without distraction HERE
Jack Henderson Clement (1931–2013) aka "Cowboy" Jack Clement from his early career as a slide guitarist, wrote almost 200 songs and gave them to artists he co-operated with. Himself, he worked as a producer most of the time. His songs are very often rather cheery, now and then even odd, but sometimes he happened to be serious.In the sixties, when this song was written, trains seemed to fade from the scene. Fortunately this prediction was wrong. Even in USA, where legally voted presidents stand up against environment preserving laws, people are awakening.
The song was first recorded by Bobby Bare, in 1967. 1970-album "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash" contains a cover minus the last verse. And Jack himself let it go on posthumously released album "For Once and for All" (2014).
