Morningtown Ride – The Seekers lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Train whistle blowing makes a sleepy noiseUnderneath their blankets go all the girls and boysRocking rolling riding out along the bayAll bound for Morningtown many miles awayDriver at the engine fireman rings the bellSand man swings the lantern to show that all is wellRocking rolling riding out along the bayAll bound for Morningtown many miles awayMaybe it is raining where our train will ride;All the little travellers are warm and snug insideRocking rolling riding out along the bayAll bound for Morningtown many miles awaySomewhere there is sunshine somewhere there is daySomewhere there is Morningtown many miles awayRocking rolling riding out along the bayAll bound for Morningtown many miles awayRocking rolling riding out along the bayAll bound for Morningtown many miles away
