: : Lullaby from my dad's family - "I know a wondrous railroad, that only runs at night. From here to way up yonder where the stars shine bright. An angel is conductor and kisses are the fare. The train leaves from the station in a rocking chair." There's more. Anyone know it's origin or heard it before? Let me know. Thanks.

: Lynne, that's a beautiful lullaby. I don't know the other lyrics, but I hope someone does and posts them. Thanks for sharing the words you do know with us. --Miria

Lynne,
The same lullaby has been sung in my family, but we've never seen it written. I know my mother learned it from my great grandmother, who came from England. Here's the way I learned it:
"I know a wondrous railroad, that only runs at night. From earth to way up yonder where the stars shine bright. The passenger is baby, the locomotive love, leaving from the depot in the rocking chair. All aboard! All aboard! Riding on a fairy train until the break of day...go to sleep my little one, just lie still. All aboard! All aboard, for Slumberville."
