City of New Orleans
作词:Steve Goodman
Ridin' on the City of New Orleans Illinois Central, Monday mornin' rail Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail
Out on the southbound odyssey, the train pulls out of Kankakee And it rolls past houses and farms and fields Passin' times that have no names and freight yards full of old, black men And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles
Singin', good mornin' America, how are you? Yeah, don't you know me? I'm your native son I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans And I'll be gone five hundred miles when day is done
And I was dealin' cards with the old men in the club car And it's penny a point, ain't nobody keepin' score? Just pass that paper bag that holds the bottle You can feel the wheels grumblin' beneath the floor
And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers Ride their daddy's magic carpet made of steel And mothers with their babes asleep, go rockin' to the gentle beat And the rhythm of the rails is all they dream

It's nighttime on the City of New Orleans We're changin' cars in Memphis Tennessee Halfway home, we'll be there 'by mornin' Through the Mississippi darkness rollin' to the sea
And all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream And the steel rails still ain't heard the news The conductor sings that song again, its passengers will please refrain And this train is got the disappearin' railroad blues
Singin', good night, America, how are you? Yeah, don't you know me? I'm your native son I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans I'll be gone five hundred miles when day is done
Just a-singin', good night', America, how are you? Yeah, don't you know me? I'm your native son I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans And I'll be gone a long, long time when day is done
