Roger Miller "Old Toy Trains" 1967

[Petemonster62]

You got that right AMTKnumber4!!! I don't see how kids can learn alot of skills from video games like they did from trains, construction sets, slot cars, etc. 

[terrilynnmerritts]

This was written for my friend Dean Miller by his dad Roger Miller. Dean is also a singer as well as a dog behaviorist/trainer in Nashville.

[megjohanna218]

one of my favs

[byc78]

Four people have no Christmas spirit. So sad, but I'll pray for them tonight. God bless Roger Miller.

[NebraskaCowman]

Nice

[ilrmbru2b]

Very nice to hear this time of year. Merry Christmas to all!

[coupongirl4587]

This was one of my late Grandfather's favorite Christmas songs....he was always Santa to me. He passed in 2007, but before then I sang this song in dedication to him at my college concert. No one knew I was singing it.......not a dry eye in the place. I miss him dearly, but having this song around helps me to feel closer to him at this time of year. *Still believe in Santa*<3

[TheBunnyFox]

This is one of my favorite christmas songs.

[Irislogu12]

Thank you so very much..A Blessing.

[SBrown1959]

one of the best

[Kris31607]

I remember being a small child, blankets tucked around me as I sat the backseat of my parents car with my baby sister, on our way home on Christmas Eve. We would always go out looking at Christmas lights, and my parents would play this on the tape deck. I remember falling asleep to this each year, and it holds a very special place in my heart. Thank you for sharing this, and letting me re-live those memories all these years later. <3 Merry Christmas!

[finette1964]

I was only 5 years old and Still today it takes me back to Christmas when i was little . There were hard times then ,being in a family of 7 including myself and money wasn't plentiful, but Christmas always was wonderful, Roger Miller Xmas song and Jim Reves and all the good old boys from back in that time . Thank you for keeping them on board for us.

[jencarnl]

I cry every time I hear this....Merry Christmas everyone!

[kenimisoncanada]

Brings Tears to my eyes. I was 21 when Roger Miller released this but it makes me think of Xams long ago (I am now 65) in a happier gentler time.

[allenjoearmstrong]

Suddenly it's 1962 and me and my aunt Pibby are decorating the tree. Big colored light bulbs, real tinsel and that smell that can only come from a real tree!!! My mom and granny in the kitchen making doughnuts! I cry everytime this song is played.....and I'm proud of it!!!

[audancerboy1]

When I was a younger man, my mother used to sing this song to me during Advent and the Christmas Season. I am so glad I found the original version. It brought tears to my eyes hearing it again.

[verynicegirl176]

[finland025]

@MsBluedolphins Vance

[xholycrapbatmanx]

@MsBluedolphins Hi. I think the song you're looking for is called Vance from 1968.

[OwdTimer]

I love this song and seek it out every Christmas. The version with him and his son Dean is really special.

[naymelful]

Thanks for posting. Roger Miller was so humble. He wrote this song for himself, too.>

[naymelful]

Thanks for posting. Roger Miller was so humble.

[mariesadler]

I LOVE this song! I was wondering who sang it, when I heard it on the radio a few months ago.

[PaulDBrinkman]

I worked as a radio disc jockey at a local radio station while in high school during the mid-1970s. This was among my favorite Christmas songs. Hadn't heard it in thirty years! Thank you for the post. And "Merry Christmas!"

[aakg08]

I listened to this song as a young girl and loved it, i played it to my 3 year old daugter a week ago and she has asked me to play it every morning and every night before she goes to bed. The good old classics never die

[NickyFilth]

This is my son's favorite Christmas song. He has loved it since he was a baby and he is 20 years old now. It is such a treasure to pass old songs like this along to our children as it was one of mine too. My mother sang it to me when I was a little girl too. Thanks for the memories.

[granttheswimfreak]

i keep thinking im hearing disney's robin hood just because roger miller sings this

[hottentot0o7]

I heard this song for the first time in what seems to be forever, the other night as i drove home from work... the tune stayed in my head, I love it.

[Rambo9090]

When my son was born in July 2003, I spent that Christmas rocking him to sleep next to the Christmas tree. No lights except the fire and the tree. I sang/hummed this song 1000 times. I don't know who enjoyed it more, him or me.

[jimmydean6079]

How this wonderful song takes me back to my childhood christmases back in the 1960s.I wish I could go back there forever.

[infones8]

Man this song brings tear to my eyes i've been looking for this song forever thank you very much ;)

[iammeandpsecial]

I love hove he sings "Soon you'll hear Kris Kringle and the Jingle Bells!!" Roger Miller was a very talented musician who I miss very much. It is really too bad there isn't more good music like that still being recorded now-a-days.

[bmorgan2814]

Beautiful song. I had never heard this one before. Roger Miller was definitely one of the greatest.

[60fatman]

I voted that I like it well truth is I LOVE it havent heard for years maybe it was in fact a much better time what do you think?

[boobytrapzap]

[qazzian]

I was watching the Muppet Show with Roger Miller, and checked his biography. When I saw he wrote this, my jaw dropped, and I flashed to grade 3 when we sang this for the Christmas concert.

Thanks for putting this up.

[Chesterton7]
