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
