City of New Orleans - Dennis Schütze[00:00:00]

Ridin' on the city of new orleans[00:00:07]

Illinois central monday mornin' rail[00:00:13]

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

Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail[00:00:26]

All along the south-bound odyssey[00:00:32]

The train pulls out at kankakee[00:00:35]

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

Passin' trains that have no names[00:00:45]

And freight yards full of old black men[00:00:48]

And the grave-yards of the rusted automobiles[00:00:51]

Good morning america how are you[00:00:58]

Say don't you know me i'm your native son[00:01:04]

I'm the train they call the city of new orleans[00:01:09]

And i'll be gone five-hundred miles when the day is done[00:01:16]

Dealin' cards with the old men in the club car[00:01:23]

Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score[00:01:30]

Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle[00:01:36]

You can feel the wheels[00:01:42]

Grumblin neath the floor[00:01:44]

And the sons of pullman porters and the sons of engineers[00:01:48]

Ride their father's magic carpet made of steel[00:01:55]

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

And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel[00:02:08]

Good morning america how are you[00:02:15]

Say don't you know me i'm your native son[00:02:21]

I'm the train they call the city of new orleans[00:02:26]

I'll be gone five-hundred miles when the day is done[00:02:33]

Night time on the city of new orleans[00:03:06]

Changin' cars in memphis tennessee[00:03:12]

Halfway home we'll be there by mornin'[00:03:18]

Thru the mississippi darkness rollin' down to the sea[00:03:24]

But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream[00:03:31]

And the steel rails still ain't heard the news[00:03:37]

The conductor sings his songs again[00:03:43]

The passengers will please refrain[00:03:47]

This train has got the disappearin' railroad blues[00:03:50]

Goodnight america how are you[00:03:57]

Say don't you know me i'm your native son[00:04:03]

I'm the train they call the city of new orleans[00:04:08]

I'll be gone five-hundred miles when the day is done[00:04:15]

I'll be gone five-hundred miles when the day is done[00:04:22]

I'll be gone five-hundred miles[00:04:28]

When the day is done[00:04:32]
