Wikipedia:
Morningtown Ride is a lullaby, written and originally performed by American folk/blues singer-songwriter Malvina Reynolds. It tells the comforting story of the journey through nighttime made by all the “little travellers” (children), on board a train, with the Sandman as guard.
The song was performed by The Seekers with Bobby Richards and his Orchestra on the 1964 album Hide & Seekers (W&G Records). It was subsequently re-recorded and released as a single in 1966 (Columbia), produced by Tom Springfield.
