Morningtown Ride
Malvina Reynolds, 1966· Songs Well-Known in America · p.222
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 D7 G
All bound for Morningtown, many miles away.
G G7 C G G7
Driver at the engine, fireman rings the bell,
C G Am D
Sandman swings the lantern, to show that all is well. (Chorus)
G G7 C G G7
Maybe it is raining, where our train will ride.
C G Am D
All the little travelers, are warm and snug inside. (Chorus)
G G7 C G G7
Somewhere there is sunshine, somewhere there is day.
C G Em Am D7 D
Somewhere there is Morningtown, many miles away. (Chorus twice)
