<pre><font size='+2'>IRIS DEMENT CITY OF NEW ORLEANS lyrics DEMENT IRIS</font><br>Ridin` on the city of New Orleans<br />
<br />
Illinois Central Monday mornin` rail<br />
<br />
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders<br />
<br />
Three conductors, twenty-five sacks of mail<br />
<br />
Out on the southbound odyssey<br />
<br />
The train pulls out of Kakakee<br />
<br />
And it rolls along past houses, farms and fields<br />
<br />
Passin` towns that have no name<br />
<br />
Freight yards full of old black men<br />
<br />
And the graveyards of rusted automobiles<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Good morning, America, how are you?<br />
<br />
Say, don`t you know me, I`m your native son<br />
<br />
I`m the train they call the city of New Orleans<br />
<br />
I`ll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Dealin` card games with the old men in the club car<br />
<br />
Penny a point ain`t nobody keepin` score<br />
<br />
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle<br />
<br />
Feel the wheels rumblin` `neath the floor<br />
<br />
And the sons of pullman porters<br />
<br />
And the sons of engineers<br />
<br />
Ride their daddy`s magic carpet make of steel<br />
<br />
Mothers with their babes asleep<br />
<br />
Are rockin` to the gentle beat<br />
<br />
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Good morning, America, how are you?<br />
<br />
Say don`t you know me, I`m your native son<br />
<br />
I`m the train they call the city of New Orleans<br />
<br />
I`ll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Nighttime on the city of New Orleans<br />
<br />
Changin` cars in Memphis, Tennessee<br />
<br />
Halfway home and we`ll be there by mornin`<br />
<br />
Thru the Mississippi darkness rollin` down to the sea<br />
<br />
But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream<br />
<br />
And the steel rail still ain`t heard the news<br />
<br />
The conductor sings that song again<br />
<br />
The passengers will please refrain<br />
<br />
This train`s got the disappearin` railroad blues<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Good morning, America, how are you?<br />
<br />
Say, don`t you know me, I`m your native son<br />
<br />
I`m the train they call the city of New Orleans<br />
<br />
I`ll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/iris_dement_city_of_new_orleans_lyrics-dement_iris.html" target='_blank'>IRIS DEMENT CITY OF NEW ORLEANS lyrics DEMENT IRIS</a></pre>

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

Out on the southbound odyssey

The train pulls out of Kakakee

And it rolls along past houses, farms and fields

Passin` towns that have no name

Freight yards full of old black men

And the graveyards of rusted automobiles

Good morning, America, how are you?

Say, 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

Dealin` card games with the old men in the club car

Penny a point ain`t nobody 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 daddy`s magic carpet make 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?

Say 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

Changin` cars in Memphis, Tennessee

Halfway home and we`ll be there by mornin`

Thru the Mississippi darkness rollin` down to the sea

But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream

And the steel rail still ain`t heard the news

The conductor sings that song again

The passengers will please refrain

This train`s got the disappearin` railroad blues

Good morning, America, how are you?

Say, 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
