Morning Town Ride
The Seekers Lyrics

Train whistle blowin'
The train whistle is sounding, signaling that the train is about to go on a journey.

Makes a sleepy noise
The noise made by the train whistle is calming and comforting, like a lullaby.

Underneath the blankets
The children are snuggled up under their blankets, ready for the long journey ahead.

For all the girls and boys
The train is carrying many children, all of whom are ready for the adventure.

Rockin' rollin' ridin'
The train is moving along, swaying and bouncing as it rolls down the tracks.

Out along the bay
The train is traveling near the ocean, providing beautiful views for the passengers.

All bound for Morningtown
The train is headed to a place called Morningtown, where the passengers will embark on a new adventure.

Many miles away
Morningtown is far from where the train currently is, but the passengers are excited nonetheless.

Driver at the engine
The person driving the train is working hard to ensure a smooth journey for the passengers.

Fireman rings the bell
The fireman on the train is responsible for ringing the bell to signal important moments on the journey.

Sandman swings the lantern
The Sandman, a reference to a mythical character who brings sleep to children, is on the train and swings a lantern to show that all is well.

To show that all is well
The Sandman's lantern is a symbol of comfort for the children, letting them know that everything is going smoothly on the journey.

Maybe it is raining
The weather may not be ideal for a train journey, but the passengers are safe and warm inside the train.

Where our train will ride
The train will travel through different environments and landscapes, taking the passengers on an exciting adventure.

All the little travellers
The children on the train make up a group of young adventurers, poised to explore the world and make new memories.

Are warm and snug inside
Despite the possible cold or rainy weather outside, the children are protected and comfortable inside the train.

Somewhere there is sunshine
Despite the cloudy or rainy weather outside, there are places in the world where the sun is shining brightly.

Somewhere there is day
Even though it may be dark outside now, there are places in the world where people are going about their day and living their lives.

Somewhere there is Morningtown
Morningtown is a place of possibilities and adventure, a place where the passengers are headed to start a new chapter in their lives.

Rocking, rolling, riding
The train continues on its journey, moving closer and closer to Morningtown.

All bound for Morningtown

Many miles away
Although Morningtown is far away, the passengers are excited for what lies ahead and can't wait to arrive.
