RCidin' on the CGity of New OCrleans

IlAmlinois Central MonFday morning raiCl G

There's 1C cars and 1G restless rCiders

and Am3 conductors G sacks of mCail

They're Amout on a south-bound odeyssey

the tEmrain pulls out of Kankakee

roGllin' past the houses farms and fiDelds

And the pAmassin' towns that have no name

fEmreight yards full of old black men

and the gravGeyards of G7rusted automoCbiles

CHORUS:

FGood morning AGmerica How Care you

Say Amdon't you know me IF'm your native sCon G

I'm the tCrain they call the CGity of New OAmrleansD7

I'll be gone F mGiles when the day is dCone

Verse:2

Dealin' cCard games with the oGld men in the cClub car

PAmenny a point ain't Fno one keepin' scCore G

Won't you pCass the paper bGag that holds the bCottle

Yeah and fAmeel the wheels a-grGumblin' 'neath the flCoor

And the sAmons of pullmen porters and the Emsons of engineers

ride their faGthers' magic carpet made of stDeel

MoAmthers with their babes asleep

are rEmockin' to the gentle beat

and the rhGythm of the raG7ils is all they fCeel

CHORUS:

FGood morning AGmerica How Care you

Say Amdon't you know me IF'm your native sCon G

I'm the tCrain they call the CGity of New OAmrleansD7

I'll be gone F mGiles when the day is dCone

Verse:3

NCight time on the CGity of New OCrleans

cAmhangin' cars in MeFmphis TennCessee G

HaClfway home weG'll be there by moCrnin'

through the MiAmssissippi darkness

rolGlin' down to the sCea

But Amall the towns and people seem

to fEmade into a bad dream

and the sGteel rail still ain't heard the nDews

The conAmductor sings his songs again

the paEmssengers will please refrain

this trGain's got tt disappeG7ar in' them railroad bClues

CHORUS:

FGood morning AGmerica How Care you

Say Amdon't you know me IF'm your native sCon G

I'm the tCrain they call the CGity of New OAmrleansD7

I'll be gone F mGiles when the day is dCone

I'll be gone F mGiles when the day is dCone
