Tom T. Hall - Fox Hollow's Animal Train lyrics

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 every time we pa**ed 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 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
