City of New Orleans (新奥尔良市) (Live|1990 Version) - Lawrence Welk with The Lennon Sisters[00:00:00]

Written by：Steve Goodman[00:00:00]

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

Illinois Central Monday mornin' rail[00:00:12]

15 cars and 15 restless riders[00:00:19]

Three conductors 25 sacks of mail[00:00:25]

All along the southbound odyssey the train pulls out of Kankakee[00:00:31]

Rolls along past houses farms & fields[00:00:37]

Passin' graves that have no name freight yards full of old black men[00:00:44]

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

Good mornin' America how are you[00:00:57]

Don't you know me I'm your native son[00:01:03]

I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans[00:01:09]

I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done[00:01:16]

Dealin' cards with the old men in the club car[00:01:26]

Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score[00:01:32]

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

And feel the wheels grumblin' neath the floor[00:01:45]

And the sons of Pullman porters & the sons of engineers[00:01:51]

Ride their fathers' magic carpet made of steel[00:01:57]

Mothers with their babes asleep rockin' to the gentle beat[00:02:04]

And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel[00:02:10]

Good mornin' America how are you[00:02:17]

Don't you know me I'm your native son[00:02:23]

I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans[00:02:29]

I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done[00:02:35]

Night time on the City of New Orleans[00:03:11]

Changin' cars in Memphis Tennessee[00:03:17]

Halfway home we'll be there by mornin'[00:03:24]

Through the Mississippi darkness rollin' down to the sea[00:03:30]

But all the towns & people seem to fade into a bad dream[00:03:36]

And the steel rail still ain't heard the news[00:03:42]

The conductor sings his song again[00:03:49]

The passengers will please refrain[00:03:52]

This train has got the disappearin' railroad blues[00:03:55]

Good mornin' America how are you[00:04:02]

Don't you know me I'm your native son[00:04:08]

I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans[00:04:13]

I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done[00:04:20]

I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done[00:04:26]

I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done[00:04:33]
