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