City of New Orleans (Live 1972) (исполнитель: Steve Goodman)
Nice early footage of Steve from OGWT 1972 Original video: [bad word] watch?v=AJ0JgqoF2W4 Ridin' on The City of New Orleans Illinois Central Monday morning rail There are fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail They're all out on this Southbound odyssey And the train pulls out of Kankakee Rolls past the houses, farms and fields Passin' towns that have no names And freight yards full of old black men And the graveyards [bad word] automobiles Singin': Good morning America, how are ya Don't ya 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 day is done And I was dealing cards with the old men in the club car And it's penny a point, there ain't no one keepin' score Won't ya past that paper bag that holds that tequila You can feel the wheels [bad word] #39; beneath the floor The sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers all ride their daddies' magic carpets that's made of steam And mothers with the babes asleep Go rockin' to the gentle beat The rhythm of the rails is all they dream Singin' Good morning America, how are ya Don't ya know me I'm your native son And I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans I'll be gone 500 miles when day is done It's nighttime on the City of New Orleans And we changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee All the halfway home we'll be there by morning Through the Mississippi darkness rolling to the sea All the towns and people Seem to fade into a bad dream And the old steel rail, it ain't heard the news The conductor sings that song again It's: "Passengers 'll please refrain" This train's got the disappearing railroad blues Goodnight America, how are ya And Don't ya 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 Goodnight America, how are ya Don't ya know me I'm your native son I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans Gone a long, long time when day is do-o-one.
