Lyrics[]

Train whistle blowing
Makes a sleepy noise
Underneath the blankets
Go all the girls and boys

CHORUS
Rockin', rollin', ridin'
Out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown
Many miles away

Driver at the engine
Fireman rings the bell
Sandman swings the lantern
To show that all is well

CHORUS

Maybe it is raining
Where our train will ride
All the little travellers
Are warm and snug inside

CHORUS

Somewhere there is sunshine
Somewhere there is day
Somewhere there is Morningtown
Many miles away

CHORUS x 2
