Train whistle blowing makes a sleepy noise
Underneath their blankets go all the girls and boys
4 1Heading from the station, out along the bay
4 1 57 1All bound for Morningtown, many miles a-way
Sarah's at the engine, Tony rings the bell
4 1 2m 1John swings the lantern to show that all is well
4 1Rocking, rolling, riding, out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown, many miles a-way
1 4 1Maybe it is raining where our train will ride
4 1 2m 1But all the little travellers are snug and warm in-side
Somewhere there is sunshine, somewhere there is day
4 1 57 1Somewhere there is Morningtown, many miles a-way
