All Aboard…
It was a big night in December, Chattanooga Tennessee
All the old folks still remember that snowy christmas eve
The way santa saved that holiday, it’s still hard to believe
Oh the weather man was calling for the snow to keep comin’ down
And the way that it was fallin’, Rudolph never saw the ground
By Christmas day, santa’s sleigh never made it to town
Then all at once they heard that mighty whistle blow (ha ha)
The ground started shaken’, it even shook the mistletoe
And then comin’ ’round the mountain, right through the steam and smoke
Pullin; 16 coaches shoutin’ ho ho ho
Who needs a sleigh, Santa’s got a choo-choo train
Well now, he could barely hold it comin’ down the hill so fast
Yeah that shiny locomotive made it town in no time flat
But you can’t go slow with a christmas load coming down the railroad tracks
When he pulled into the station and he finally shut her down
there was a big ol celebration, everyone gathered ’round
They passed out toys to the girls and boys from miles around
Then all at once they heard a mighty whistle blow (ha ha)
The ground started shaken’, it even shook the mistletoe
And then goin’ ’round the mountain, right through the steam and smoke
Pullin; 16 coaches shoutin’ ho ho ho
Who needs a sleigh, when Santa’s got a choo-choo train
Oh yeah, no need to fly away, Santa’s got a choo-choo train!
A Whimsical Holiday Tale on the Rails
“Santa’s Got A Choo Choo Train” by Blake Shelton takes listeners on a festive ride through a unique Christmas story set in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The lyrics paint a playful scene where a heavy snowfall grounds Santa’s traditional sleigh and reindeer, forcing him to improvise in style. Rather than letting the weather dampen spirits, Santa commandeers a mighty locomotive, bringing holiday cheer to children and adults alike. The train, with its jubilant whistle and 16 coaches, becomes a symbol of resilience and the joy of adapting to unexpected challenges. Shelton’s storytelling, lively rhythms, and the chorus’s catchy “ho ho ho” make this song a spirited addition to any holiday playlist.
