Train Songs

Posted 3 Mar, 2022

If you were born within the last 30 years you might not realize how big a deal trains used to be. You may be lucky enough to live in a country with high speed rail, but in places like the USA trucking and flying is the main method of moving goods and people. Forms of rail transport have been around since ancient times and definitely peaked about 100 years ago. Since recorded music began, we have heard stacks of tracks that are songs about trains. Here is a list of train oriented tunes perfect for playing on the ukulele.

All songs (5)

01

Soul Asylum

Part: Full

In the early 90’s this Soul Asylum music video was played constantly on TV! But it doesn’t have too many chords and is great if you can really belt the vocals out right… catching that runaway teen angst!

02

Bruce Springsteen has written a song about everything in the USA, of course he has covered trains!

intermediate

03

Rod Stewart

Part: Full

This pop rock ballad by Rod Stewart is a pretty simple song with mostly easy chords. Just try and sing the same as Rod.

04

Bob Marley

Part: Full

This a traditional gospel from the 1920’s that has been covered by many artists like Johnny Cash and Bob Marley.

05

Elvis Presley

Part: Full

Even the King himself got into the train song category! This is another rockabilly type song, which will take practice to emulate on the ukulele. The rockabilly drums were centered around a “train beat” so that genre has its share of train ditties!
