Riding on the city of new orleans[00:00:05]

Illinios central, monday morning rail[00:00:11]

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

3 conductors and 25 sacks of mail[00:00:20]

All along a southbound odyssey[00:00:25]

The train pulls out of kankakee[00:00:28]

Rolls along past houses, farms and fields[00:00:30]

Passing trains that have no name[00:00:36]

Freight yards full of old black men[00:00:38]

The graveyards of the rusted automobiles[00:00:40]

Singing good morning america, how are you?[00:00:43]

Saying, dont you know me Im your native son?[00:00:51]

Im the train they call the city of new orleans[00:00:55]

Ill be gone 500 miles when the day is done[00:01:01]

Dealing cards with the old men in the club car[00:01:06]

Penny a point, aint no one keeping score[00:01:11]

Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle[00:01:16]

Feel the wheels a rumbling neath the floor[00:01:21]

And the sons of pullman porters[00:01:26]

And the sons of engineers[00:01:29]

Ride their fathers magic carpet made of steel[00:01:31]

And mothers with their babes asleep[00:01:35]

Rockin to the gentle beat[00:01:39]

And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel[00:01:42]

Singing good morning america, how are you?[00:01:46]

Saying dont you know me, Im your native son?[00:01:51]

Im the train they call the city of new orleans[00:01:56]

Ill be gone 500 miles when the day is done[00:02:02]

Nighttime on the city of new orleans[00:02:07]

Changing cars in memphis, tennessee[00:02:13]

Halfway home and well be there by morning[00:02:18]

Through the mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea[00:02:23]

But all the towns and people seem[00:02:27]

To fade into a bad dream[00:02:43]

And the steel rails still aint heard the news[00:02:55]

The conductor sings his song again[00:02:58]

The passengers will please refrain[00:03:04]

This train has got the disappearing railroad blues[00:03:05]

Singing good morning america, how are you?[00:03:06]

Saying dont you know me, Im your native son?[00:03:07]

Im the train they call the city of new orleans[00:03:09]

Ill be gone 500 miles when the day is done[00:03:10]
