<pre><font size='+2'>CITY OF NEW ORLEANS lyrics CASH JOHNNY</font><br>Written by: Steve Goodman<br />
 <br />
 Ridin` on the City of New Orleans<br />
 Illinois Central, Monday mornin` rail<br />
 15 cars & 15 restless riders<br />
 Three conductors, 25 sacks of mail<br />
 <br />
 All along the southbound odyssey the train pulls out of Kankakee<br />
 Rolls along past houses, farms & fields<br />
 Passin` graves that have no name, freight yards full of old black men<br />
 And the graveyards of rusted automobiles<br />
 <br />
 Chorus: <br />
 Good mornin` America, how are you?<br />
 Don`t you know me? I`m your native son!<br />
 I`m the train they call the City of New Orleans<br />
 I`ll be gone 500 miles when the day is done<br />
 <br />
 Dealin` cards with the old men in the club car<br />
 Penny a point, ain`t no one keepin` score<br />
 Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle<br />
 And feel the wheels grumblin` neath the floor<br />
 <br />
 And the sons of Pullman porters & the sons of engineers<br />
 Ride their fathers` magic carpet made of steel<br />
 Mothers with their babes asleep, rockin` to the gentle beat<br />
 And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel<br />
 <br />
 Repeat Chorus<br />
 <br />
 Night time on the City of New Orleans<br />
 Changin` cars in Memphis, Tennessee<br />
 Halfway home, we`ll be there by mornin`<br />
 Thru the Mississippi darkness rollin` down to the sea<br />
 <br />
 But all the towns & people seem to fade into a bad dream<br />
 And the steel rail still ain`t heard the news<br />
 The conductor sings his song again<br />
 `The passengers will please refrain:<br />
 This train has got the disappearin` railroad blues<br />
 <br />
 Repeat Chorus<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/city_of_new_orleans_lyrics-cash_johnny.html" target='_blank'>CITY OF NEW ORLEANS lyrics CASH JOHNNY</a></pre>

Ridin` on the City of New Orleans
Illinois Central, Monday mornin` rail
15 cars & 15 restless riders
Three conductors, 25 sacks of mail

All along the southbound odyssey the train pulls out of Kankakee
Rolls along past houses, farms & fields
Passin` graves that have no name, freight yards full of old black men
And the graveyards of rusted automobiles

Chorus:
Good mornin` America, how are you?
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 500 miles when the day is done

Dealin` cards 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
And feel the wheels grumblin` neath the floor

And the sons of Pullman porters & the sons of engineers
Ride their fathers` magic carpet made of steel
Mothers with their babes asleep, rockin` to the gentle beat
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel

Repeat Chorus

Night time on the City of New Orleans
Changin` cars in Memphis, Tennessee
Halfway home, we`ll be there by mornin`
Thru the Mississippi darkness rollin` down to the sea

But all the towns & people seem to fade into a bad dream
And the steel rail still ain`t heard the news
The conductor sings his song again
`The passengers will please refrain:
This train has got the disappearin` railroad blues

Repeat Chorus
