[00:00:00] City of New Orleans (新奥尔良市) (Live|1992 Version) - Lawrence Welk with The Lennon Sisters

[00:00:01] Written by：Steve Goodman

[00:00:06] Ridin' on the City of New Orleans

[00:00:11] Illinois Central Monday mornin' rail

[00:00:17] 15 cars and 15 restless riders

[00:00:23] Three conductors 25 sacks of mail

[00:00:29] All along the southbound odyssey the train pulls out of Kankakee

[00:00:35] And rolls along past houses farms and fields

[00:00:41] Passin' graves that have no name freight yards full of old black men

[00:00:46] And the graveyards of rusted automobiles

[00:00:52] Good mornin' America how are you

[00:00:58] Say don't you know me I'm your native son

[00:01:03] I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans

[00:01:09] And I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done

[00:01:18] Dealin' cards with the old men in the club car

[00:01:25] Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score

[00:01:30] Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle

[00:01:36] Feel the wheels grumblin' neath the floor

[00:01:41] And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers

[00:01:47] Ride their fathers' magic carpet made of steel

[00:01:53] Mothers with their babes asleep rockin' to the gentle beat

[00:01:59] And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel

[00:02:05] Good mornin' America how are you

[00:02:11] Say don't you know me I'm your native son

[00:02:16] I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans

[00:02:22] I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done

[00:02:52] Night time on the City of New Orleans

[00:02:58] Changin' cars in Memphis Tennessee

[00:03:04] Halfway home we'll be there by mornin'

[00:03:09] Through the Mississippi darkness rollin' down to the sea

[00:03:15] But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream

[00:03:21] And the steel rail still ain't heard the news

[00:03:27] The conductor sings his song again

[00:03:30] The passengers will please refrain

[00:03:33] This train has got the disappearin' railroad blues

[00:03:39] Good mornin' America how are you

[00:03:44] Don't you know me I'm your native son

[00:03:49] I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans

[00:03:56] I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done

[00:04:02] And I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done

[00:04:08] And I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done
