city of new orleans - various artists[00:00:01]

riding on the city of new orleans[00:00:03]

illinios central, monday morning rail[00:00:08]

15 cars and 15 restless riders[00:00:13]

3 conductors and 25 sacks of mail[00:00:18]

all along a southbound odyssey[00:00:24]

the train pulls out of kankakee[00:00:27]

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

passing trains that have no name[00:00:35]

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

the graveyards of the rusted automobiles[00:00:41]

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

saying, don't you know me i'm your native son?[00:00:51]

i'm the train they call the city of new orleans[00:00:56]

i'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done[00:01:02]

dealing cards with the old men in the club car[00:01:10]

penny a point, aint no one keeping score[00:01:16]

pass the paper bag that holds the bottle[00:01:21]

feel the wheels a rumbling neath the floor[00:01:27]

and the sons of pullman porters[00:01:32]

and the sons of engineers[00:01:35]

ride their fathers magic carpet made of steel[00:01:37]

and mothers with their babes asleep[00:01:44]

rockin to the gentle beat[00:01:46]

and the rhythm of the rails is all they feel[00:01:49]

singing good morning america, how are you?[00:01:54]

saying don't you know me, i'm your native son?[00:01:59]

i'm the train they call the city of new orleans[00:02:04]

i'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done[00:02:10]

nighttime on the city of new orleans[00:02:18]

changing cars in memphis, tennessee[00:02:24]

halfway home and well be there by morning[00:02:29]

through the mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea[00:02:34]

but all the towns and people seem[00:02:40]

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

and the steel rails still aint heard the news[00:02:45]

the conductor sings his song again[00:02:51]

the passengers will please refrain[00:02:54]

this train has got the disappearing railroad blues[00:02:56]

singing good morning america, how are you?[00:03:02]

saying don't you know me, i'm your native son?[00:03:07]

i'm the train they call the city of new orleans[00:03:12]

i'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done[00:03:17]

i'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done[00:03:23]
