City Of New Orleans - Judy Collins (朱蒂·柯林斯)[00:00:00]

Riding on the City of New Orleans[00:00:11]

Illinois Central Monday morning rail[00:00:17]

Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders[00:00:22]

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

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

The train pulls out at Kankakee[00:00:36]

Rolls along past houses farms and fields[00:00:38]

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

Freight yards full of old black men[00:00:47]

And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles[00:00:50]

Good morning America how are you[00:00:55]

Don't you know me I'm your native son[00:01:01]

I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans[00:01:06]

I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done[00:01:11]

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

Penny a point ain't no one keeping score[00:01:23]

Won't you pass the paper bag that holds the bottle[00:01:29]

Feel the wheels rumbling neath the floor[00:01:34]

And the sons of Pullman porters[00:01:40]

And the sons of engineers[00:01:42]

Ride their father's magic carpets made of steam[00:01:45]

Mothers with their babes asleep[00:01:51]

Are rocking to the gentle beat[00:01:54]

And the rhythm of the rails is all they dream[00:01:56]

Good morning America how are you[00:02:02]

Don't you know me I'm your native son[00:02:07]

I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans[00:02:13]

I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done[00:02:18]

Nighttime on The City of New Orleans[00:02:46]

Changing cars in Memphis Tennessee[00:02:52]

Half way home we'll be there by morning[00:02:57]

Through the Mississippi darkness[00:03:02]

Rolling down to the sea[00:03:04]

And all the towns and people seem[00:03:08]

To fade into a bad dream[00:03:11]

And the steel rails still ain't heard the news[00:03:14]

The conductor sings his song again[00:03:19]

The passengers will please refrain[00:03:22]

This train's got the disappearing railroad blues[00:03:25]

Good night America how are you[00:03:31]

Don't you know me I'm your native son[00:03:36]

I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans[00:03:41]

I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done[00:03:47]
