"Morningtown Ride" is a very nice children's song written by Malvina Reynolds. I believe they have it listed under "lullabies" in Rise Up Singing, but I know they don't have it with the exact lyrics I learned as a child. It has also been made into a picture book.

I don't think it was ever really intended to entertain adults--although the Irish Rovers covered it, too...
