Morningtown Ride

Words & Music:

Malvina Reynolds

 

G             G7       C              G      G7

Train whistle blowin', makes a sleepy noise;

C                G           Am                D

Underneath their blankets go all the girls and boys.

 

CHORUS:

G                 G7      C             G    G7

Rockin', rollin', ridin', out along the bay,

C             G      Em    D          G  D

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 travelers are warm and snug inside.

 

CHORUS:

 

Somewhere there is sunshine, somewhere there is day,

Somewhere there is Morningtown, many miles away.

 

CHORUS:  [2x]
