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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Good morning America[00:00:59]

How are you[00:01:02]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Good morning America[00:02:20]

How are you[00:02:22]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Through the Mississippi darkness[00:03:08]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Good night America[00:03:41]

How are you[00:03:43]

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

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

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

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

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