《City Of New Orleans》歌词

[00:00:00] City of New Orleans - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

[00:00:03] Ridin' on the city of New Orleans

[00:00:07] Illinois central Monday morning rail

[00:00:13] 15 cars and 15 restless riders

[00:00:18] Three conductors and 24 sacks of mail

[00:00:23] All along the southbound odyssey the train rolls out of Kankakee

[00:00:29] And moves along past houses farms and fields

[00:00:35] Passin' trains that have no name and switch yards full of old black men

[00:00:40] And graveyards of rusted automobiles

[00:00:46] Good morning America how are you

[00:00:50] Say don't you know me I'm your native son

[00:00:56] I'm a train they call the city of New Orleans

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

[00:01:10] Dealin' cards with the old men on the club car

[00:01:16] Penny a point and nobody's keepin' score

[00:01:20] Hey pass the paper bag that holds the bottle

[00:01:27] And feel the wheels rumblin' 'Neath the floor

[00:01:31] And the sons of pullman porters and the sons of engineers

[00:01:37] Ride their daddys' magic carpet made of steel

[00:01:43] Mothers with their babes asleep rockin' to the gentle beat

[00:01:48] And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel

[00:01:54] Good morning America how are you

[00:01:58] Say don't you know me I'm your native son

[00:02:04] I'm a train they call the city of New Orleans

[00:02:09] I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done

[00:02:18] It's night time on the city of New Orleans

[00:02:23] Changing' cars in Memphis Tennessee

[00:02:29] Halfway home we'll be there by morning

[00:02:34] Thru the Mississippi darkness Rollin' down to the sea

[00:02:39] And all the towns and all the people seem to fade into a bad bed dream

[00:02:45] And the steel rail still ain't heard the news

[00:02:50] The conductor sings his song again

[00:02:53] The passengers will please refrain

[00:02:56] This train has got the disappearin' railroad blues

[00:03:01] Good morning America how are you

[00:03:06] Say don't you know me I'm your native son

[00:03:11] I'm a train they call the city of New Orleans

[00:03:17] I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done

[00:03:22] I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done
