JOHN DENVER CITY OF NEW ORLEANS LYRICS


CITY OF NEW ORLEANS LYRICS by JOHN DENVER:


Riding on the "City Of New Orleans"  
Illinois Central Monday Morning Rail  
Less fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders  
Three conductors and twenty five sacks of mails  
They're out on the south-bound odissey and the train pulls out of Kankoke  
Rolling past houses, farms and fields  
Passing towns that have no names and freightyards full of old black men  
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles  
 
Singing Good Morning A-merica. How are you'  
Saying don't you know me, I'm your native son'  
I'm the train they call "City of New Orleans".  
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the days is done  
 
I was dealing cards with the old man in the club car  
Plenty of points there ain't no one keeping score  
Say won't you pass the paper bag that holds the bottle  
And feel the wheels rumbling through the floor  
And the sons of foregone porters and the sons of engineers  
Ride their father's magic carpet made of steel  
And the days were full of restless and their dreams were full of memories  
[ City Of New Orleans lyrics from http://www.lyricsyoulove.com/ ]
And the echos of the freight train whistles clear  
 
Singing Good Morning A-merica. How are you'  
Saying don't you know me, I'm your native son'  
Yes I'm the train they call "City of New Orleans".  
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the days is done  
 
But it's twilight on the city of New Orleans  
Talk about a pocket full of friends  
Halfway home, we'll be there by morning  
With no tomorrow waiting 'round of then  
Singing goodbye A-merica. I love you  
Saying don't you know me, I'm your native son'  
I'm the train they call "City of New Orleans".  
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the days is done  
Singing Good Morning A-merica. How are you'  
Saying don't you know me, I'm your native son'  
Yes I'm the train they call the "City of New Orleans".  
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the days is done
