No. 11: Roger Miller, ‘Old Toy Trains’ – Top 50 Country Christmas Songs

With old-school harmonies and strumming guitars, Roger Miller's 'Old Toy Trains' is a simple country tune about Santa Claus bringing toys for a little boy on Christmas Eve.

The little boy wants to stay up and see the big man in the red suit, but Miller is urging him to go to bed. The singer wrote the popular Christmas tune for his 2-year-old son, Dean Miller, in 1967.

This addition to the Top 50 Country Christmas Songs was a popular holiday song, but it was the only one Miller ever wrote. He is best known for his hit songwriting in the '50s, as well as his collaborations with Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson.
