MORNINGTOWN RIDE  Time: 4/4  Tenor: C majorC  Bass: C majorC


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
