《The City of New Orleans》歌词

[00:00:00] The City of New Orleans - Studio Group

[00:00:08] Riding on the city of New Orleans

[00:00:14] Illinois Central Monday morning rail

[00:00:21] Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders

[00:00:27] Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail

[00:00:33] All along the southbound odyssey

[00:00:37] The train pulled out at Kankakee

[00:00:39] And rolls along past houses farms and fields

[00:00:46] Passin' trains that have no names

[00:00:50] And freight yards full of old black men

[00:00:52] And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles

[00:00:59] Good morning America

[00:01:02] How are you

[00:01:05] Say don't you know me

[00:01:07] I'm your native son

[00:01:11] I'm the train they call the city of New Orleans

[00:01:18] And I'll be gone five hundred miles

[00:01:20] When the day is done

[00:01:28] Dealin' card games with the old men in the club car

[00:01:34] Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score

[00:01:41] Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle

[00:01:47] Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor

[00:01:53] And the sons of Pullman Porters

[00:01:56] And the sons of engineers

[00:02:00] Ride their father's magic carpet made of steel

[00:02:07] Mothers with their babes asleep

[00:02:10] Are rockin' to the gentle beat

[00:02:13] And the rhythm of the rail is all they feel

[00:02:20] Good morning America

[00:02:22] How are you

[00:02:26] Say don't you know me

[00:02:28] I'm your native son

[00:02:31] I'm the train they call the city of New Orleans

[00:02:38] I'll be gone five hundred miles

[00:02:41] When the day is done

[00:02:49] Nighttime on the city of New Orleans

[00:02:55] Changing cars in Memphis Tennessee

[00:03:02] Half way home we'll be there by morning

[00:03:08] Through the Mississippi darkness

[00:03:10] Rolling down to the sea

[00:03:14] But all the towns and people seem

[00:03:18] To fade into a bad dream

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

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

[00:03:31] The passengers will please refrain

[00:03:34] This train has got the disappearing railroad blues

[00:03:41] Good night America

[00:03:43] How are you

[00:03:47] Say don't you know me

[00:03:49] I'm your native son

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

[00:03:59] I'll be gone five hundred miles

[00:04:02] When the day is done
