《City of New Orleans》歌词

[00:00:00] City Of New Orleans - Steve Goodman

[00:00:01] Ridin' on the city of new orleans

[00:00:06] Illinois central monday mornin' rail

[00:00:11] Illionois fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders

[00:00:17] Three conductors twenty-five sacks of mail

[00:00:22] There are out on the southbound odyssey

[00:00:25] The train pulls out of kakakee

[00:00:28] And it rolls along past houses

[00:00:30] Farms and fields

[00:00:33] Passin' towns that have no name

[00:00:36] Freight yards full of old black men

[00:00:38] And the graveyards of rusted automobiles

[00:00:43] Say good morning america how are you

[00:00:49] Say don't you know me

[00:00:51] I'm your native son

[00:00:54] Yes I'm the train they call

[00:00:56] The city of new orleans

[00:01:00] I'll be gone five hundred miles

[00:01:02] When the day is done

[00:01:05] And I was dealin' cards with

[00:01:07] The old men in the club car

[00:01:11] It's penny a point ain't nobody keepin' score

[00:01:16] Won't you pass the paper bag that holds the bottle

[00:01:21] You can feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor

[00:01:27] And the sons of pullman porters

[00:01:30] And the sons of engineers

[00:01:32] Ride their daddy's magic carpet make of steel

[00:01:38] Mothers with their babes asleep

[00:01:40] Are rockin' to the gentle beat

[00:01:43] And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel

[00:01:48] Just saying good morning america how are you

[00:01:54] Say don't you know me

[00:01:55] I'm your native son

[00:01:59] I'm the train they call the city of new orleans

[00:02:05] I'll be gone five hundred miles

[00:02:07] When the day is done

[00:02:16] Nighttime on the city of new orleans

[00:02:21] Changin' cars in memphis tennessee

[00:02:27] Halfway home we'll be there by mornin'

[00:02:32] Thru the mississippi darkness

[00:02:33] Rollin' down to the sea

[00:02:38] But all the towns and people seem

[00:02:40] To fade into a bad dream

[00:02:43] And the steel rail still ain't heard the news

[00:02:48] The conductor sings that song again

[00:02:51] The passengers will please refrain

[00:02:54] This train's got the disappearin' railroad blues

[00:02:58] Just saying good morning america how are you

[00:03:04] Say don't you know me I'm your native son

[00:03:09] I'm the train they call the city of new orleans

[00:03:15] I'll be gone five hundred miles

[00:03:17] When the day is done

[00:03:20] Just saying good morning america how are you

[00:03:26] Say don't you know me I'm your native son

[00:03:31] I'm the train they call the city of new orleans

[00:03:37] I'll be gone long long time with that
