《City of New Orleans》歌词

[00:00:00] City of New Orleans - The Houghton Weavers

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

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

[00:00:16] Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders

[00:00:22] Three conductors twenty-five sacks of mail

[00:00:27] Out on the southbound odyssey

[00:00:30] The train pulls out of Kakakee

[00:00:33] Rolls along past houses

[00:00:35] Farms and fields

[00:00:38] Passin' towns that have no name

[00:00:41] Freight yards full of old black men

[00:00:44] The graveyards of rusted automobiles

[00:00:49] Good morning America how are you

[00:00:55] Don't you know me

[00:00:56] I'm your native son

[00:01:00] I'm the train they call

[00:01:02] The city of New Orleans

[00:01:06] I'll be gone five hundred miles

[00:01:08] When the day is done

[00:01:11] Dealin' card games with

[00:01:13] The old men in the club car

[00:01:17] Penny a point ain't noone keepin' score

[00:01:22] Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle

[00:01:28] Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor

[00:01:33] And the sons of pullman porters

[00:01:35] And the sons of engineers

[00:01:38] Ride their father's magic carpet made of steel

[00:01:44] Mothers with their babes asleep

[00:01:46] Are rockin' to the gentle beat

[00:01:49] And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel

[00:01:55] Good morning America how are you

[00:02:00] Don't you know me

[00:02:01] I'm your native son

[00:02:05] I'm the train they call the city of New Orleans

[00:02:10] I'll be gone five hundred miles

[00:02:12] When the day is done

[00:02:38] Nighttime on the city of New Orleans

[00:02:43] Changin' cars in Memphis Tennessee

[00:02:48] Halfway home we'll be there by mornin'

[00:02:53] Through the Mississippi darkness

[00:02:55] Rollin' down to the sea

[00:02:59] And all the towns and people seem

[00:03:02] To fade into a bad dream

[00:03:04] And the steel rail still ain't heard the news

[00:03:10] Conductor sings that song again

[00:03:12] The passengers will please refrain

[00:03:15] This train's got the disappearin' railroad blues

[00:03:20] Good night America how are you

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

[00:03:30] I'm the train they call the city of New Orleans

[00:03:36] I'll be gone five hundred miles

[00:03:38] When the day is done

[00:03:41] Good morning America how are you

[00:03:47] Don't you know me I'm your native son

[00:03:52] I'm the train they call the city of New Orleans

[00:03:57] I'll be gone five hundred miles

[00:03:59] When the day is done

[00:04:03] I'll be gone five hundred miles

[00:04:05] When the day is done
