How well do you remember the opening credits to Petticoat Junction?

Do you remember watching this little train roll down the tracks?

The opening credits feature the train, which is still operational today, several times and has a song that goes along with it as the show is introduced. 

There are a good amount of lyrics, characters and scenery in the opening credits to this show that belongs to the Hooterville universe. How well do you remember this opening sequence, its train and its song?

Not a fan of the show, but it was sort of cute at times. I liked the little dog who ran after the train.
