Karaoke Track: City Of New Orleans by Willie Nelson (Pocket Songs) - Karaoke Nerds

City Of New Orleans

Womb and Munc by Goodman

Ridin' on the
City of New Orleans

Illinois Central
Monday mornin' rail

Fifteen cars and
Fifteen restless riders

Three conductors
Twenty-five
Sacks of mail

All out on a
Southbound odyssey

The train pulls out
Of Kankakee

Rolls past
The houses, farms

And fields

Passin' towns that
Have no name

Freightyards full of
Old black men

And the graveyards
Of the rusted
Automobiles

Good mornin'
America, how are you?

'Don't you know me,
I'm your native son?

Well, I'm the train
They call the

City of New Orleans

I'll be gone
Five hundred miles

When the day is done

Dealin' cards
To the old men

In the club car

Penny a point
And no one's

Keepin' score

Well, pass the
Paper bag that

Holds the bottle

You can feel
The wheels grumblin'

'Neath the floor

And the sons of
Pullman porters

And the sons of
Engineers

Ride their father's
Magic carpet

Made of steel

Mothers with their
Babies asleep are

Rockin' to the
Gentle beat

And the rhythm of
The rails is all

They dream

Good mornin'
America, how are you?

Well, don't you,
Know me,

And I'm your,
Native son?

Well, I'm the train
They call the

City of New Orleans

I'll be gone
Five hundred miles

When the day is done

Night-time on the
City of New Orleans

Changin' cars in
Memphis, Tennessee

Halfway home
And we'll be there

By mornin'

Through the
Mississippi darkness

Rollin' out to the sea

But all the towns
And people seem

To fade into
A bad dream

The steel rail
Hasn't heard the news

The conductor sings
His song, again

The passengers will
Please refrain

This train's got the
Disappearin'
Railroad blues

Good mornin'
America, how are you?

'Don't you know me,
I'm your native son?

Well, I'm the train
They call the

City of New Orleans

I'll be gone
Five hundred miles

When the day is done...
