Intro :  
 
 
R  idin'on the Ci  ty of New Orlea  ns,
Ill  inois Central,        Monday mornin'  rail,
f  ifteen cars and   fifteen restless r  iders
thr  ee conductors and   twenty-five   sacks of   mail.
 
 
  All along the south bound odyssey,
the   train pulls out at Kankakee,
r  olls along past houses, farms, and   fields.
  Passing trains that have no name,
and   freight yards full of old black men
and the   graveyards of the   rusted automo  biles.
 
 
[Refrain :]
Go  od mornin'Ame  rica how are yo  u !
(Say),   don't you know me ?   I'm your native   son !
  I'm the   train they call The   City of New O  rleans,  
I'll be   gone fiv  e hundred   miles when the day is   done.
 
 
  Dealin'cards to the o  ld men in the c  lub car,
p  enny a point   ain't no one keepin'score  .
  Pass the paper   bag that holds the   bottle,
and   feel the wheels   rumblin''n  eath the floor  .
 
 
And the   sons of Pullman porters and the s  ons of engineers
ride their   fathers'magic carpets made of st  eel,
  mothers with their babes asleep are   rockin'to the gentle beat,
and the   rythm of the   wheels is all they   feel
 
 
[Refrain]
 
 
(instrumental)
 
 
N  ight time on The   City of New Orlea  ns,
c  hangin'cars in Me  mphis Tennesse  e,
h  alfway home, we'll b  e there by mo  rnin',
through the Mis  sissippi darkness   rollin'do  wn to the s  ea.
 
 
But   all the towns and people seem to   fade into a bad dream,
the s  teel rail still ain't heard the   news.
The   conductor sings his song again : "  Passengers will please Refrain !"
The   train has got the   disapp'rin'railroad bl  ues.
 
 
[Refrain]
 
 
                 ...
