  • Riding on the city of new orleans
    Illinios central, monday morning rail

    15 cars and 15 restless riders

    3 conductors and 25 sacks of mail

    All along a southbound odyssey
    The train pulls out of kankakee
    Rolls along past houses, farms and fields

    Passing trains that have no name
    Freight yards full of old black men
    The graveyards of the rusted automobiles
    Singing good morning america, how are you?

    Saying, dont you know me Im your native son?

    Im the train they call the city of new orleans

    Ill be gone 500 miles when the day is done

    Dealing cards with the old men in the club car

    Penny a point, aint no one keeping score

    Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle

    Feel the wheels a rumbling neath the floor

    And the sons of pullman porters
    And the sons of engineers
    Ride their fathers magic carpet made of steel
    And mothers with their babes asleep
    Rockin to the gentle beat
    And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel

    Singing good morning america, how are you?

    Saying dont you know me, Im your native son?

    Im the train they call the city of new orleans

    Ill be gone 500 miles when the day is done

    Nighttime on the city of new orleans
    Changing cars in memphis, tennessee

    Halfway home and well be there by morning

    Through the mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea

    But all the towns and people seem

    To fade into a bad dream

    And the steel rails still aint heard the news
    The conductor sings his song again
    The passengers will please refrain
    This train has got the disappearing railroad blues
    Singing good morning america, how are you?
    Saying dont you know me, Im your native son?
    Im the train they call the city of new orleans
    Ill be gone 500 miles when the day is done
