Train whistle blowing makes a sleepy noise
 
4                1           2m                1
Underneath their blankets go all the girls and boys

Heading from the station, out along the bay

John swings the lantern to show that all is well

Rocking, rolling, riding, out along the bay

All bound for Morningtown, many miles a-way

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

Somewhere there is Morningtown, many miles a-way
