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
