City of New Orleans (新奥尔良市) (Live|1992 Version) - Lawrence Welk with The Lennon Sisters[00:00:00]

Written by：Steve Goodman[00:00:01]

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

Illinois Central Monday mornin' rail[00:00:11]

15 cars and 15 restless riders[00:00:17]

Three conductors 25 sacks of mail[00:00:23]

All along the southbound odyssey the train pulls out of Kankakee[00:00:29]

And rolls along past houses farms and fields[00:00:35]

Passin' graves that have no name freight yards full of old black men[00:00:41]

And the graveyards of rusted automobiles[00:00:46]

Good mornin' America how are you[00:00:52]

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

I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans[00:01:03]

And I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done[00:01:09]

Dealin' cards with the old men in the club car[00:01:18]

Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score[00:01:25]

Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle[00:01:30]

Feel the wheels grumblin' neath the floor[00:01:36]

And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers[00:01:41]

Ride their fathers' magic carpet made of steel[00:01:47]

Mothers with their babes asleep rockin' to the gentle beat[00:01:53]

And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel[00:01:59]

Good mornin' America how are you[00:02:05]

Say don't you know me I'm your native son[00:02:11]

I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans[00:02:16]

I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done[00:02:22]

Night time on the City of New Orleans[00:02:52]

Changin' cars in Memphis Tennessee[00:02:58]

Halfway home we'll be there by mornin'[00:03:04]

Through the Mississippi darkness rollin' down to the sea[00:03:09]

But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream[00:03:15]

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

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

The passengers will please refrain[00:03:30]

This train has got the disappearin' railroad blues[00:03:33]

Good mornin' America how are you[00:03:39]

Don't you know me I'm your native son[00:03:44]

I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans[00:03:49]

I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done[00:03:56]

And I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done[00:04:02]

And I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done[00:04:08]
