This Cat's On A Hot Tin Roof - Hit Crew Masters[00:00:00]
Riding on the City of New Orleans[00:00:07]
Illinois Central Monday morning rail[00:00:13]
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders[00:00:19]
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail[00:00:25]
All along the southbound 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 graveyards of the rusted automobiles[00:00:51]
Good morning America how are you?[00:00:58]
See, 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[00:01:16]
When the day is done[00:01:19]
Dealin' card games with the old men in the club car[00:01:26]
Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score[00:01:33]
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle[00:01:39]
Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor[00:01:46]
And the sons of pullman porters[00:01:51]
And the sons of engineers[00:01:55]
Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel[00:01:58]
Mothers with their babes asleep[00:02:05]
Are rockin' to the gentle beat[00:02:08]
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel[00:02:11]
Good morning America how are you?[00:02:18]
See, don't you know me I'm your native son[00:02:24]
I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans[00:02:29]
I'll be gone five hundred miles[00:02:36]
When the day is done[00:02:39]
Nighttime on The City of New Orleans[00:03:09]
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee[00:03:15]
Half way home, we'll be there by morning[00:03:22]
Through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea[00:03:28]
But all the towns and people[00:03:35]
Seem to fade into a bad dream[00:03:37]
And the steel rails still ain't heard the news[00:03:41]
The conductor sings his song again,[00:03:47]
The passengers will please refrain[00:03:50]
This train's got the disappearing railroad blues[00:03:54]
Good morning America how are you?[00:04:00]
See, don't you know me I'm your native son[00:04:06]
I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans[00:04:12]
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done[00:04:19]
