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

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

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 of Kankakee[00:00:35]

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

Passing trains that have no name[00:00:44]

And graveyards full of old black men[00:00:48]

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

Good morning America how are you Say [00:00:57]

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 an old man in the club car[00:01:26]

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

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

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

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

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

Mothers with their babes asleep rockin' to that gentle beat[00:02:05]

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

Good morning America how are you Say don't you know me I'm your native son And I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done[00:02:17]

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

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

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

Through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea[00:03:27]

And all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream[00:03:34]

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

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

The passengers will please refrain This train has got the disappearing railroad blues[00:03:49]

Good morning America how are you Say don't you know me I'm your native son[00:03:59]

I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans And I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done[00:04:11]
