  Riding on the   City of New   Orleans
  Illinois Central Mo  nday morning ra  il     
Fifteen   cars and fifteen r  estless rid  ers
  Three conductors and t  wenty-five sacks of   mail.
All a  long the south bound odyssey, the t  rain pulls out of Kenkakee
  Rolls along past houses farms and f  ields
  Passing trains that have no name, fr  eight yards of old black men
And   graveyards of r  usted automob  iles.
 
 
  Good morning A  merica, how are   you ?
Say,   don't you know me, I'  m your native   son.   
I'm the t  rain they call th  e City of New   Orleans      
I'll be gone five h  undred miles   when the day is   done.
 
 
Dealing   card games with the o  ld men in the cl  ub car
  Penny a point ain't n  o one keeping sc  ore    
  Pass the paper bag but h  old the b  ottle
  Feel the wheels r  umbling 'neath the f  loor
And the   sons of Pullman porters and the so  ns of engineers
  Ride their father's magic carpets made of s  teel
  Mother with her babes asleep r  ocking to the gentle beat
And the   rhythm of the r  ails is all they f  eel.
 
 
  Good morning A  merica, how are   you ?
Say,   don't you know me, I'  m your native   son.   
I'm the t  rain they call th  e City of New   Orleans      
I'll be gone five h  undred miles   when the day is   done.
 
 
  Night time on the C  ity of New   Orleans
  Changing cars in M  emphis Tenness  ee    
  Halfway home w  e'll be there by m  orning
Through the   Mississippi darkness r  olling down to the s  ea.
But   all the towns and people seem to f  ade into a dark dream
And the   steel rail still ain't heard the   news
The   conductor sings his songs again, the pa  ssengers will please Refrain
This   train got the disapp  earing railroad b  lues.
 
 
  Good morning A  merica, how are   you ?
Say,   don't you know me, I'  m your native   son.   
I'm the t  rain they call th  e City of New   Orleans      
I'll be gone five h  undred miles   when the day is   done.
