City Of New Orleans

Dans le style de

Arlo Guthrie

Paroles

ridin' on
the city of
new orleans
illinois central
monday mornin' rail

fifteen cars
and fifteen
restless riders
three conductors
and twenty-five
sacks of mail

all along
the southbound
odyssey
the train pulls out
at kankakee
and rolls along
past houses
farms and fields

passin' trains
that have no names
and freight yards
full of old black men
and the graveyards
of the rusted
automobiles

good mornin' america
how are ya
said 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
five hundred miles
when the day is done

dealin' card games
with the old men
in the club cars
penny a point
ain't no one
keepin' score

pass the paper bag
that holds the bottle
and feel the wheels
rumblin' 'neath
the floor

and the sons of
pullman porters
and the sons of
engineers
ride their father's
magic carpets
made of steel

and mothers
with their babes
asleep
rockin' to
the gentle beat
and the rhythm
of the rails
is all they feel

good mornin' america
how are ya
said 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
five hundred miles
when the day is done

nighttime on
the city of
new orleans
changin' cars in
memphis tennessee

halfway home
we'll be there
by mornin'
through the
mississippi darkness
rollin' down
to the sea

but all the towns
and people seem
to fade into
a bad dream
and the steel rail
still ain't heard
the news

the conductor
sings his songs again
the passengers
will please refrain
this train's got
the disappearin'
railroad blues

goodnight america
how are ya
said 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
five hundred miles
when the day is done
