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

[00:00:00] Written by：Steve Goodman

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

[00:00:12] Illinois Central Monday mornin' rail

[00:00:19] 15 cars and 15 restless riders

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

[00:00:31] All along the southbound odyssey the train pulls out of Kankakee

[00:00:37] Rolls along past houses farms & fields

[00:00:44] Passin' graves that have no name freight yards full of old black men

[00:00:50] And the graveyards of rusted automobiles

[00:00:57] Good mornin' America how are you

[00:01:03] 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] I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done

[00:01:26] Dealin' cards with the old men in the club car

[00:01:32] Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score

[00:01:39] Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle

[00:01:45] And feel the wheels grumblin' neath the floor

[00:01:51] And the sons of Pullman porters & the sons of engineers

[00:01:57] Ride their fathers' magic carpet made of steel

[00:02:04] Mothers with their babes asleep rockin' to the gentle beat

[00:02:10] And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel

[00:02:17] Good mornin' America how are you

[00:02:23] Don't you know me I'm your native son

[00:02:29] I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans

[00:02:35] I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done

[00:03:11] Night time on the City of New Orleans

[00:03:17] Changin' cars in Memphis Tennessee

[00:03:24] Halfway home we'll be there by mornin'

[00:03:30] Through the Mississippi darkness rollin' down to the sea

[00:03:36] But all the towns & people seem to fade into a bad dream

[00:03:42] And the steel rail still ain't heard the news

[00:03:49] The conductor sings his song again

[00:03:52] The passengers will please refrain

[00:03:55] This train has got the disappearin' railroad blues

[00:04:02] Good mornin' America how are you

[00:04:08] Don't you know me I'm your native son

[00:04:13] I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans

[00:04:20] I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done

[00:04:26] I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done

[00:04:33] I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done
