"Morningtown Ride (To Christmas)" lyrics

"Morningtown Ride (To Christmas)"

Train whistle blowin'
Makes a sleepy noise
Underneath their blankets
Go all the girls and boys

Rockin', rollin', ridin'
Out along the bay
Dreaming of Santa Claus
Riding on his sleigh

Driver at the engine
Fireman rings the bell
Sandman swings the lantern
To show that all is well

Rockin', rollin', ridin'
Out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown
Wake on Christmas Day

Maybe it is snowing
Where our train will ride
All the little travellers
Are warm and snug inside

Rockin', rollin', ridin'
Out along the bay
Dreaming of Santa Claus
Riding on his sleigh

Somewhere there is sunshine
Somewhere there is day
Somewhere there is Morningtown
Many miles away

Rockin', rollin', ridin'
Out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown
Wake on Christmas Day

Rockin', rollin', ridin'
Out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown
Happy Christmas Day
