Morningtown Ride

Song by Malvina Reynolds
Rise Up Singing chapter: Lullabies, p.134

Chords: D - G D / G D Em A / D - G D / G D A D

Train whistle blowing, makes a sleepy noise
Underneath their blankets go all the girls and boys
Heading from the station, out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown, many miles away

Sarah's at the engine, Olivia rings the bell
Isabel swings the lantern to show that all is well
Rocking, rolling, riding, out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown, many miles away

Maybe it is raining where our train will ride
But all the little travellers are snug and warm inside
Somewhere there is sunshine, somewhere there is day
Somewhere there is Morningtown, many miles away
