(Steve Goodman)
Ridin' on the City of New Orleans
Illinois
Central, Monday mornin' rail
15 cars & 15 restless riders
Three conductors, 25 sacks of
mail
All along the southbound odyssey the train pulls out of Kankakee
Rolls along
past houses, farms & fields
Passin' towns that have no name, freight yards full of old gray
men
And the graveyards of rusted automobiles
cho: Good mornin' 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 500 miles when the day is done
Dealin' cards with the
old men in the club car
Penny a point, ain't no one keepin' score
Pass the paper bag that
holds the bottle
And feel the wheels grumblin' neath the floor
And the sons of
Pullman porters & the sons of engineers
Ride their fathers' magic carpet made of
steel
Mothers with their babes asleep, rockin' to the gentle beat
And the
rhythm of the rails is all they feel
cho:
Night time on the City of New
Orleans
Changin' cars in Memphis, Tennessee
Halfway home & we'll be there by
mornin'
Thru the Mississippi darkness rollin' down to the sea
But all the
towns & people seem to fade into a bad dream
And the steel rail still ain't heard the
news
The conductor sings his song again
"The passengers will please
refrain:
This train has got the disappearin' RR blues
Goodnight America How
are you? ...
