《City Of New Orleans(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] City Of New Orleans - Randy Scruggs

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

[00:00:11] Illinois Central Monday mornin' rail

[00:00:17] Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders

[00:00:22] Three conductors twenty-five sacks of mail

[00:00:28] Out on the southbound odyssey

[00:00:31] The train pulls out of Kakakee

[00:00:34] And it rolls along past houses

[00:00:36] Farms and fields

[00:00:39] Passin' towns that have no name

[00:00:42] Freight yards full of old black men

[00:00:45] And the graveyards of rusted automobiles

[00:00:51] Good morning America how are you

[00:00:56] Say don't you know me

[00:00:58] I'm your native son

[00:01:01] I'm the train they call

[00:01:04] The city of New Orleans

[00:01:07] I'll be gone five hundred miles

[00:01:10] When the day is done

[00:01:16] Dealin' card games with

[00:01:17] The old men in the club car

[00:01:22] Penny a point ain't nobody keepin' score

[00:01:28] Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle

[00:01:33] Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor

[00:01:39] And the sons of pullman porters

[00:01:41] And the sons of engineers

[00:01:44] Ride their daddy's magic carpet make of steel

[00:01:50] Mothers with their babes asleep

[00:01:53] Are rockin' to the gentle beat

[00:01:55] And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel

[00:02:02] Good morning America how are you

[00:02:07] Say don't you know me

[00:02:09] I'm your native son

[00:02:12] I'm the train they call the city of New Orleans

[00:02:18] I'll be gone five hundred miles

[00:02:20] When the day is done

[00:02:39] Nighttime on the city of New Orleans

[00:02:44] Changin' cars in Memphis Tennessee

[00:02:50] Halfway home we'll be there by mornin'

[00:02:55] Thru the Mississippi darkness

[00:02:57] Rollin' down to the sea

[00:03:01] But all the towns and people seem

[00:03:04] To fade into a bad dream

[00:03:06] And the steel rail still ain't heard the news

[00:03:12] The conductor sings that song again

[00:03:15] The passengers will please refrain

[00:03:18] This train's got the disappearin' railroad blues

[00:03:24] Good morning America how are you

[00:03:29] Say don't you know me I'm your native son

[00:03:34] I'm the train they call the city of New Orleans

[00:03:40] I'll be gone five hundred miles

[00:03:43] When the day is done
