This song appears on three albums, and was first released on the poems, prayers and promises album, is also available on the country roads collection album and has also been rerecorded on all aboard! album.

riding on the city of new orleans
illinios central, monday morning rail
15 cars and 15 restless riders
3 conductors and 25 sacks of mail
all along a southbound odyssey
the train pulls out of kankakee
rolls along past houses, farms and fields
passing trains that have no name
freight yards full of old black men
the graveyards of the rusted automobiles
Singing good morning america, how are you?
saying, don't you know me iĄŻm your native son?
iĄŻm the train they call the city of new orleans
i'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done

dealing cards with the old men in the club car
penny a point, ainĄŻt no one keeping score
pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
feel the wheels a rumbling ĄŻneath the floor

and the sons of pullman porters
and the sons of engineers
ride their fathersĄŻ magic carpet made of steel
and mothers with their babes asleep
rockinĄŻ to the gentle beat
and the rhythm of the rails is all they feel
singing good morning america, how are you?
saying donĄŻt you know me, i'm your native son?
iĄŻm the train they call the city of new orleans
iĄŻll be gone 500 miles when the day is done
Nighttime on the city of new orleans
changing cars in memphis, tennessee
halfway home and weĄŻll be there by morning
through the mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea
but all the towns and people seem
to fade into a bad dream
and the steel rails still ainĄŻt heard the news
the conductor sings his song again
the passengers will please refrain
this train has got the disappearing railroad blues

singing good morning america, how are you?
saying donĄŻt you know me, i'm your native son?
iĄŻm the train they call the city of new orleans
iĄŻll be gone 500 miles when the day is done
