《City of New Orleans》歌词

[00:00:00] City of New Orleans - Willie Nelson (威利·纳尔逊)

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

[00:00:13] I llinois Central Monday morning rail

[00:00:19] Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders

[00:00:25] Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail

[00:00:32] All along the southbound odyssey

[00:00:35] The train pulls out of Kankakee

[00:00:38] And rolls along past houses farms and fields

[00:00:45] Passing trains that have no name

[00:00:47] And graveyards full of old black men

[00:00:51] And graveyards full of rusted automobiles

[00:00:58] Good morning America how are you say

[00:01:04] Don't you know me I'm your native son

[00:01:10] I'm the train they call

[00:01:12] The City of New Orleans

[00:01:16] And I'll be gone five hundred miles

[00:01:19] When the day is done

[00:01:26] Dealin' cards with an old man at the club car

[00:01:33] Many a point ain't no one keepin' score

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

[00:01:45] And feel the wheels a rumbling neath the floor

[00:01:51] And the sons of poor men porters

[00:01:54] And the sons of engineers

[00:01:58] Ride their father's magic carpet made of steel

[00:02:05] Mothers with their babes asleep

[00:02:08] Rockin' to that gentle beat

[00:02:11] And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel

[00:02:17] Good morning America how are you say

[00:02:24] Don't you know me I'm your native son

[00:02:29] I'm the train they call

[00:02:32] The City of New Orleans

[00:02:36] And I'll be gone five hundred miles

[00:02:39] When the day is done

[00:03:08] Night time on the City of New Orleans

[00:03:15] Changing cars in Memphis Tennessee

[00:03:21] Half way home we'll be there by morning

[00:03:27] Through the Mississippi darkness

[00:03:29] Rolling down to the sea

[00:03:33] And all the towns and people seem

[00:03:36] To fade into a bad dream

[00:03:40] And the steel rails still ain't heard the news

[00:03:46] The conductor sings his songs again

[00:03:49] The passengers will please refrain

[00:03:52] This train has got the disappearing railroad blues

[00:03:59] Good morning America how are you say

[00:04:05] Don't you know me I'm your native son

[00:04:10] I'm the train they call

[00:04:13] The City of New Orleans

[00:04:17] And I'll be gone five hundred miles

[00:04:20] When the day is done
