City of New Orleans - Willie Nelson (威利·纳尔逊)[00:00:00]
Ridin' on the City of New Orleans[00:00:06]
I llinois 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[00:00:45]
And graveyards full of old black men[00:00:47]
And graveyards full of rusted automobiles[00:00:51]
Good morning America how are you say[00:00:58]
Don't you know me I'm your native son[00:01:04]
I'm the train they call[00:01:10]
The City of New Orleans[00:01:12]
And I'll be gone five hundred miles[00:01:16]
When the day is done[00:01:19]
Dealin' cards with an old man at the club car[00:01:26]
Many 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[00:01:51]
And the sons of engineers[00:01:54]
Ride their father's magic carpet made of steel[00:01:58]
Mothers with their babes asleep[00:02:05]
Rockin' to that gentle beat[00:02:08]
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel[00:02:11]
Good morning America how are you say[00:02:17]
Don't you know me I'm your native son[00:02:24]
I'm the train they call[00:02:29]
The City of New Orleans[00:02:32]
And I'll be gone five hundred miles[00:02:36]
When the day is done[00:02:39]
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[00:03:27]
Rolling down to the sea[00:03:29]
And all the towns and people seem[00:03:33]
To fade into a bad dream[00:03:36]
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[00:03:49]
This train has got the disappearing railroad blues[00:03:52]
Good morning America how are you say[00:03:59]
Don't you know me I'm your native son[00:04:05]
I'm the train they call[00:04:10]
The City of New Orleans[00:04:13]
And I'll be gone five hundred miles[00:04:17]
When the day is done[00:04:20]
