7. City Of New Orleans


Riding on the city of New Orleans

Illinois Central Monday morning rail

There are fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders

Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail


There all out on this southbound odyssey

And the train pulls out of Kankakee

Rolls past the houses, farms and fields

Passin' towns that have no names

And freight yards full of old black men

And the graveyards of rusted automobiles


Singin' "good morning America, how are ya?"

Saying "don't ya know me? I'm your native son"

Yes, I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans

And I'll be gone 500 miles when day is done


And I was dealing cards with the old men in the club car

And it's penny a point, there ain't no one keeping score

Won't ya past that paper bag that holds that bottle

You can feel the wheels grumbling through the floor


And the sons of Pullman porters; the sons of engineers

They ride their father's magic carpet made of steel

And mothers with the babes asleep

Go rockin' to the gentle beat

And the rhythm of the rails is all they dream


Just a-singin' "good morning America, how are ya?"

Sayin' "don't ya know me? I'm your native son"

And I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans

I'll be gone 500 miles when day is done


Nighttime on the City of New Orleans

Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee

It's halfway home and we'll be there by morning

Through the Mississippi darkness rolling to the sea

And all the towns and people

They seem to fade into a bad dream

The old steel rails, it ain't heard the news

The conductor sings that song again

Its passengers will please refrain

This train's got the disappearing railroad blues


Just a-singin' "good night America, how are ya?"

Sayin' "don't ya know me? I'm your native son"

And I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans

I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done


Just a-singin' "good night America, how are ya?"

Sayin' "don't ya know me? I'm your native son"

And I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans

And I'll be gone a long, long time when the day is done
