《New Orleans》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:16] penny a point, ain't no one keeping score

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:45] and the steel rails still ain't heard the news

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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