Discover the story of the song > Morningtown Ride – The Seekers

The song talks about a train ride to a town called Morningtown, with the protagonist and other travelers on board. The train whistle blows and the driver and fireman do their jobs while the Sandman signals that all is well. It might be raining outside but everyone inside the train is warm and comfortable, and the song ends by referencing the possibility of sunshine and a new day in Morningtown, which is far away.
