《The City Of New Orleans》歌词

[00:03:02] The City Of New Orleans - Country Gentlemen

[00:03:02] Written by锛欼lan Goldhirsh/Steve Goodman

[00:03:02] Riding on the city of New Orleans

[00:03:02] Illinois Central Monday morning rail

[00:03:02] Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders

[00:03:02] Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail

[00:03:02] All along the southbound odyssey

[00:03:02] The train pulled out at Kankakee

[00:03:02] And rolls along past houses farms and fields

[00:03:02] Passin' trains that have no names

[00:03:02] And freight yards full of old black men

[00:03:02] And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles

[00:03:02] Good morning America

[00:03:02] How are you

[00:03:02] Say don't you know me I'm your native son

[00:03:02] I'm the train they call the city of New Orleans

[00:03:02] And I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done

[00:03:02] Dealin' card games with the old men in the club car

[00:03:02] Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score

[00:03:02] Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle

[00:03:02] Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor

[00:03:02] And the sons of Pullman Porters

[00:03:02] And the sons of engineers

[00:03:02] Ride their father's magic carpet made of steel

[00:03:02] Mothers with their babes asleep

[00:03:02] Are rockin' to the gentle beat

[00:03:02] And the rhythm of the rail is all they feel

[00:03:02] Good morning America

[00:03:02] How are you

[00:03:02] Say don't you know me I'm your native son

[00:03:02] I'm the train they call the city of New Orleans

[00:03:02] I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done

[00:03:02] Nighttime on the city of New Orleans

[00:03:02] Changing cars in Memphis Tennessee

[00:03:02] Half way home we'll be there by morning

[00:03:02] Through the Mississippi darkness

[00:03:02] Rolling down to the sea

[00:03:02] But all the towns and people seem

[00:03:02] To fade into a bad dream

[00:03:02] And the steel rails still ain't heard the news

[00:03:02] The conductor sings his songs again

[00:03:02] The passengers will please refrain

[00:03:02] This train has got the disappearing railroad blues

[00:03:02] Good morning America

[00:03:02] How are you

[00:03:02] Say don't you know me I'm your native son

[00:03:02] I'm the train they call the city of New Orleans

[00:03:02] I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
