[00:00:00] City of New Orleans (新奥尔良市) (Live|1990 Version) - Lawrence Welk with The Lennon Sisters

[00:00:01] Written by：Steve Goodman

[00:00:09] Ridin' on the City of New Orleans

[00:00:15] Illinois Central Monday mornin' rail

[00:00:22] 15 cars and 15 restless riders

[00:00:28] Three conductors 25 sacks of mail

[00:00:34] All along the southbound odyssey the train pulls out of Kankakee

[00:00:40] And rolls along past houses farms and fields

[00:00:47] Passin' graves that have no name freight yards full of old black men

[00:00:53] And the graveyards of rusted automobiles

[00:01:00] Good mornin' America how are you

[00:01:06] Say don't you know me I'm your native son

[00:01:12] I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans

[00:01:18] And I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done

[00:01:29] Dealin' cards with the old men in the club car

[00:01:35] Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score

[00:01:42] Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle

[00:01:48] Feel the wheels grumblin' neath the floor

[00:01:54] And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers

[00:02:00] Ride their fathers' magic carpet made of steel

[00:02:07] Mothers with their babes asleep rockin' to the gentle beat

[00:02:13] And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel

[00:02:20] Good mornin' America how are you

[00:02:25] Say don't you know me I'm your native son

[00:02:31] I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans

[00:02:38] I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done

[00:03:14] Night time on the City of New Orleans

[00:03:20] Changin' cars in Memphis Tennessee

[00:03:27] Halfway home we'll be there by mornin'

[00:03:33] Through the Mississippi darkness rollin' down to the sea

[00:03:39] But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream

[00:03:45] And the steel rail still ain't heard the news

[00:03:52] The conductor sings his song again

[00:03:54] The passengers will please refrain

[00:03:58] This train has got the disappearin' railroad blues

[00:04:05] Good mornin' America how are you

[00:04:11] Don't you know me I'm your native son

[00:04:16] I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans

[00:04:23] I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done

[00:04:29] And I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done

[00:04:36] And I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done
