《City of New Orleans》歌词

[00:00:00] City of New Orleans - Dennis Schütze

[00:00:07] Ridin' on the city of new orleans

[00:00:13] Illinois central monday mornin' rail

[00:00:19] Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders

[00:00:26] Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail

[00:00:32] All along the south-bound odyssey

[00:00:35] The train pulls out at kankakee

[00:00:38] And rolls along past houses farms and fields

[00:00:45] Passin' trains that have no names

[00:00:48] And freight yards full of old black men

[00:00:51] And the grave-yards of the rusted automobiles

[00:00:58] Good morning america how are you

[00:01:04] Say don't you know me i'm your native son

[00:01:09] I'm the train they call the city of new orleans

[00:01:16] And i'll be gone five-hundred miles when the day is done

[00:01:23] Dealin' cards with the old men in the club car

[00:01:30] Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score

[00:01:36] Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle

[00:01:42] You can feel the wheels

[00:01:44] Grumblin neath the floor

[00:01:48] And the sons of pullman porters and the sons of engineers

[00:01:55] Ride their father's magic carpet made of steel

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

[00:02:08] And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel

[00:02:15] Good morning america how are you

[00:02:21] Say don't you know me i'm your native son

[00:02:26] I'm the train they call the city of new orleans

[00:02:33] I'll be gone five-hundred miles when the day is done

[00:03:06] Night time on the city of new orleans

[00:03:12] Changin' cars in memphis tennessee

[00:03:18] Halfway home we'll be there by mornin'

[00:03:24] Thru the mississippi darkness rollin' down to the sea

[00:03:31] But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream

[00:03:37] And the steel rails still ain't heard the news

[00:03:43] The conductor sings his songs again

[00:03:47] The passengers will please refrain

[00:03:50] This train has got the disappearin' railroad blues

[00:03:57] Goodnight america how are you

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

[00:04:08] I'm the train they call the city of new orleans

[00:04:15] I'll be gone five-hundred miles when the day is done

[00:04:22] I'll be gone five-hundred miles when the day is done

[00:04:28] I'll be gone five-hundred miles

[00:04:32] When the day is done
