City of New Orleans Willie Nelson
R[D]idin' on the C[A]ity of New O[D]rleans
I[Bm]llinois Central, M[G]onday mornin' [D]rail
F[D]ifteen cars and f[A]ifteen restless [D]riders
T[Bm]hree conducters and t[A]wenty-five sacks of [D]mail
Pre chorus 1:
A[Bm]ll along the south bound oddessy
T[F#]he train pulls out at Kankenney
A[A]nd rolls along pass houses, farms, and f[E]ields
P[Bm]assing trains that have no name
A[F#]nd train yards full of old black men
A[A]nd the graveyards of the rusted auto[D]mobiles
Chorus:
G[G]ood mornin' A[A]merica how are [D]ya
Say d[Bm]on't you know me? I[G]'m your native s[D]on
[A]I'm the tr[D]ain they call The C[A]ity of New O[Bm]rleans
And I'll be g[C]one five[G] hundred [A]miles before the day is [D]done
Verse 2:
Playin' cards with the old men in the club car
Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score
Pass the paper bag that hold the bottle
And feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor
Pre-chorus 2:
And the sons of pullman porters
And the sons of engineers
Ride thier fathers magic carpets made of steel
Mothers with thier babes asleep
Rockin' to the gentle beat
And the rythm of the wheels is all they hear
Chorus:

Verse 3:
Night time on The City of New Orleans
Changin' cars in Memphis Tennesse
Halfway home we'll be there be mornin'
Through the Mississippi darkness rollin' down to the sea
Pre-chorus 3:
But all the towns and peole seem
To fade into a bad dream
And the steal rails still ain't heard the news
The conducter sings his song again
Passengers will please refrain
This train has got the dissapperin' railroad blues
