[00:06.96]Ridin' on the City of New Orleans
[00:12.21]
[00:13.21]I llinois Central Monday morning rail
[00:19.59]Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
[00:24.90]
[00:25.90]Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail
[00:31.46]
[00:32.03]All along the southbound odyssey
[00:35.34]The train pulls out of Kankakee
[00:38.53]And rolls along past houses farms and fields
[00:45.15]Passing trains that have no name
[00:47.90]And graveyards full of old black men
[00:51.03]And graveyards full of rusted automobiles
[00:57.15]
[00:58.09]Good morning America how are you say
[01:04.03]Don't you know me I'm your native son
[01:09.46]
[01:10.03]I'm the train they call
[01:12.28]The City of New Orleans
[01:16.46]And I'll be gone five hundred miles
[01:19.71]When the day is done
[01:22.03]
[01:26.65]Dealin' cards with an old man at the club car
[01:33.47]Many a point ain't no one keepin' score
[01:38.15]
[01:39.78]Pass that paper bag that holds the bottle
[01:45.91]And feel the wheels a rumbling neath the floor
[01:51.84]And the sons of poor men porters
[01:54.47]And the sons of engineers
[01:58.15]Ride their father's magic carpet made of steel
[02:05.16]Mothers with their babes asleep
[02:08.03]Rockin' to that gentle beat
[02:11.03]And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel
[02:17.84]Good morning America how are you say
[02:24.03]Don't you know me I'm your native son
[02:29.47]I'm the train they call
[02:32.03]The City of New Orleans
[02:36.47]And I'll be gone five hundred miles
[02:39.29]When the day is done
[02:46.03]
[03:08.84]Night time on the City of New Orleans
[03:15.03]Changing cars in Memphis Tennessee
[03:21.40]Half way home we'll be there by morning
[03:27.53]Through the Mississippi darkness
[03:29.16]Rolling down to the sea
[03:33.97]And all the towns and people seem
[03:36.78]To fade into a bad dream
[03:40.17]And the steel rails still ain't heard the news
[03:44.80]
[03:46.74]The conductor sings his songs again
[03:49.43]The passengers will please refrain
[03:52.52]This train has got the disappearing railroad blues
[03:58.52]
[03:59.40]Good morning America how are you say
[04:05.21]Don't you know me I'm your native son
[04:10.83]I'm the train they call
[04:13.53]The City of New Orleans
[04:17.96]And I'll be gone five hundred miles
[04:20.58]When the day is done
