Santa Train / Sleigh Ride - The Petersens (LIVE)

The Santa Train travels 110 miles through the Appalachian Mountains passing out toys and candy to kids on its 14 stops. The Santa Train started out as a celebration of all the success the coal mining communities were having, but as the years went on and mines closed, many people have lost their livelihoods. Now the gifts from the train are the only ones some kids get for Christmas.

Our grandma actually grew up in a coal mining community with her family in West Virginia so this song has deep roots for us. Patty Loveless wrote this song and we think it's such a fun tune and love the joy this train brings to so many people.

►Santa Train lyrics:
It's Christmas time and I can't wait
Mama hurry, don't be late
Let's go down to the railroad tracks
Santa Train is coming back

Hoo Hoo Here It Comes
Hoo Hoo Santa Train
Hoo Hoo Get On Board
Hoo Hoo Santa Train

Shelbiana through Elkhorn Pass
Up the grade and down to the Dante
All along the Clinchfield Route
Little children scream and shout

Hoo Hoo Here It Comes
Hoo Hoo Santa Train
Hoo Hoo Get On Board
Hoo Hoo Santa Train

The Santa Train is almost here
Loaded down with Christmas cheer
Pulling out of Dungannon
Look out Kingsport here it comes

Hoo Hoo Here It Comes
Hoo Hoo Santa Train
Hoo Hoo Get On Board
Hoo Hoo Santa Train

Hoo Hoo Sandy Ridge
Hoo Hoo Copper Creek
Hoo Hoo Cady Junction
Hoo Hoo Bart Lick

Hoooo Haysi
Hoooo Clickety Clack
Hoooo Boulder Bluff
Hoooo Santa's Back
