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

4 1 57 1

Somewhere there is Morningtown, many miles a-way
