City Oaf New Orleans

歌曲歌詞

City Of New Orleans(LP Version) - Judy Collin

Riding on the City of New Orleans

Illinois Central Monday morning rail

Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders

Three conductors and twenty five sacks of mail

All along the southbound odyssey

The train pulls out at Kankakee

Rolls along past houses farms and fields

Passing trains that have no names

Freight yards full of old black men

And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles

Good morning America how are you

Don't you know me I'm your native son

I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans

I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done

Dealing cards with the old men in the club car

Penny a point ain't no one keeping score

Won't you pass the paper bag that holds the bottle

Feel the wheels rumbling neath the floor

And the sons of Pullman porters

And the sons of engineers

Ride their father's magic carpets made of steam

Mothers with their babes asleep

Are rocking to the gentle beat

And the rhythm of the rails is all they dream

Good morning America how are you
