From the recording Say Hello To The Morning
Malvina Reynolds Amedeo- Brio Music Inc.
One of my favourite lullabies from one of my favourite songwriters. I change the children’s names everytime I sing it.
Lyrics
1. Train whistle blowing, makes a sleepy noise,
Underneath their blankets go all the girls and boys,
Heading from the station, out along the bay,
All bound for Morningtown, many miles away.
2. Jocelyn’s at the engine, Alix rings the bell,
Cole swings the lantern, to show that all is well.
Rocking rolling riding, out along the bay,
All bound for Morningtown, many miles away.
3. Maybe it is raining, where our train will ride,
But all the little travellers, are snug and warm inside.
Somewhere there is morning somewhere there is day,
Somewhere there is Morningtown, many miles away.
