Morningtown ride - The Seekers tribute (cover)

Pequinita sings The Seekers #1 Christmas hit of 1966.
Words and music by Malvina Reynolds.
Train whistle blowing, makes a sleepy noise
Underneath their blankets go all the girls and boys
Rocking, rolling, riding, out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown, many miles away

Driver at the engine, fireman rings the bell
Sand man swings the lantern, to show that all is well
Rocking, rolling, riding, out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown, many miles away

Maybe it is raining where our train will ride
All the little travellers are warm and snug inside
Rocking, rolling, riding, out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown, many miles away

Somewhere there is sunshine, somewhere there is day
Somewhere there is Morningtown, many miles away
Rocking, rolling, riding, out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown, many miles away
[Rocking, rolling, riding, out along the bay]
All bound for Morningtown, many miles away

That was so beautiful, Pequinita. I just love each one of your songs. I never heard this song before but now that I heard it I can't take it out of my mind. 5 stars to you, my friend, sister and favorite female singer. Million hugs to you!

Hi Romina

Thanks again for your very encouraging words as always. Like you I never heard this song before until I was introduced to it by Pequnito. The Seekers had so many nice hits in the 60s in both the UK and Australia.

Love

Pequinita
