[00:00.00]City of New Orleans (Live at Sportovní hala, Prague, Czech Republic - April 1978) - Johnny Cash
[00:08.09]Ridin' on the City of New Orleans
[00:11.43]
[00:13.26]Illinois Central Monday mornin' rail
[00:16.39]
[00:18.88]15 cars & 15 restless riders
[00:22.47]
[00:24.10]Three conductors and 24 sacks of mail
[00:27.67]
[00:29.68]All along the southbound odyssey
[00:32.97]The train rolls out of Kankakee
[00:35.61]And moves along past houses farms & fields
[00:39.37]
[00:41.63]Passin' trains that have no name
[00:44.25]And switch yards full of old black men
[00:46.97]And graveyards of rusted automobiles
[00:50.29]
[00:53.02]Good mornin' America how are you
[00:56.72]
[00:57.84]Say don't you know me I'm your native son
[01:01.65]
[01:03.25]I'm a train they call the City of New Orleans
[01:07.74]
[01:08.96]I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done
[01:13.44]
[01:18.06]Dealin' cards with the old men in the club car
[01:21.56]
[01:23.90]Penny a point and nobody's keepin' score
[01:27.42]
[01:29.07]Hey now pass paper bag the that holds the bottle
[01:33.18]
[01:35.64]And feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor
[01:38.40]
[01:40.34]And the sons of Pullman porters & the sons of engineers
[01:45.50]
[01:46.02]Ride their daddys' magic carpet made of steel
[01:50.04]
[01:52.45]Mothers with their babes asleep
[01:54.45]
[01:55.23]Rockin' to the gentle beat
[01:57.36]And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel
[02:01.18]
[02:03.80]Good mornin' America how are you
[02:07.74]
[02:08.86]Say don't you know me I'm your native son
[02:12.68]
[02:14.15]I'm a train they call the City of New Orleans
[02:18.72]
[02:20.03]I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done
[02:24.46]
[02:29.63]Night time on the City of New Orleans
[02:32.97]
[02:34.86]Changin' cars in Memphis Tennessee
[02:38.45]
[02:40.68]Halfway home we'll be there by mornin'
[02:45.40]
[02:46.07]Thru the Mississippi darkness rollin' down to the sea
[02:49.41]
[02:51.62]And all the towns & people seem to fade into a bad dream
[02:57.35]And the steel rail still ain't heard the news
[03:00.89]
[03:03.61]The conductor sings his song again
[03:05.64]
[03:06.22]"The passengers will please refrain:
[03:09.11]This train has got the disappearin' railroad blues"
[03:12.11]
[03:15.14]Good mornin' America how are you
