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 Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Jambalaya, Keep Me God, Keep On The Sunny Side, Let The Mystery Be, Letter To Mom, Living On The Inside, Love Abides, Mexican Home, My Life, No Time To Cry, Nobody Gonna Love On Me No More, On The Wings Of A Dove, Our Town, Over The Garden Wall, Pack Up Your Sorrows, Pretty Saro, Quality Time, Sweet Forgiveness, Sweet Is The Melody, The Cherry Tree Carol, The Heart Tells The Story, The Old Rugged Cross, The Shores Of Jordan, The Train Carrying Jimmie Rodgers Home, The Unclouded Day, The Way I Should, THERES A WALL IN WASHINGTON, These Hills, This Kind Of Happy, Trouble, Troublesome Waters, Walkin Home, Wasteland Of The Free, We Could, Wheels Of Love, When I Was Yours, When Love Was Young, WHEN MY MORNIN COMES AROUND, Where The Soul Of Man Never Dies, Whispering Pines, Wildwood Flower, Ah Leah, Agnes, Ah!
