It never ceases to amaze me how much this silly song has meant to so many people. We play it at every performance and the reaction is always the same....everyone loves it! We never practice it (bad luck) so it's a brand new song every time we play it. Glad to hear your grandson enjoyed it, melessajane. penwok, when you live near the home of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils like we do, you own a copy of the Quilt LP!
Been singing this to my grandson for a year now. I only remembered it was from the 70,s. He's 16 months old + doesn't like trains he can't see. Played this for him. He liked it. Thanks for posting it + thanks to u-tube.
Chicken train is why I learned to play the harp and still my favorite song to blow!!!!!!!!!! Have loved this song since I was a wee boy when my older bro bought the LP til, well, forever!
wish i could find an acoustic version.. my buddies and i start our round table acoustic guitar jam, with this song, you can just let it roll, and feel good playing it... come on now, chicken train.. laser beam ! Mr. Butler, Ed, thank you for teaching and showing us the true value of this song !
First song I heard of OMD's - then I heard Jackie Blue X )
