City of New Orleans (In the Style of Willie Nelson)(Demo Vocal Version|In the Style of Willie Nelson|Demo)
Riding on the City of New Orleans
- Riding on the City of New Orleans
- Illinois Central Monday morning 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 morning America how are you
- See don't you know me I'm your native son
- I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans
- And I'll be gone five hundred miles
- When the day is done
- Dealin' card games 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
- 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
- Mothers with their babes asleep are rockin'
- To the gentle beat
- And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel
- Good morning America how are you
- See 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
- Changing cars in Memphis Tennessee
- Half way home we'll be there by morning
- Through the Mississippi darkness rolling
- Down to the sea
- But all the towns and people seem to fade
- Into a bad dream
- And the steel rails still ain't heard the news
- The conductor sings his song again
- The passengers will please refrain
- This train's got the disappearing railroad blues
- Good morning America how are you
- See 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
