C Riding on the G City of New C Orleans, /B
Am Illinois Central F Monday morning C rail G7
C Fifteen cars and fif- G teen restless C riders, /D /E
F Three conductors and G twenty-five sacks of C mail. /B
All Am along the southbound odyssey
The Em train pulls out at Kankakee
C Rolls along past houses, farms and D fields. (Dm7 - G7)
Am Passin' trains that have no names,
Em Freight yards full of old black men
And the F graveyards of the (G rusted G7) automo- C biles. /C /D /E

Dealing C card games with the G old men in the C club cars, /B
A Am penny a point, ain't F no one keeping C score. G7
C Pass the paper G bag that holds the C bottle, /B
And F feel the wheels G rumbling 'neath the C floor. /B
And the Am sons of Pullman porters,
And the Em sons of engineers,
Ride their C fathers' magic carpet made of D steel. (Dm7-G7)
Am Mothers with their babes asleep,
Em Rocking to the gentle beat,
And the F rhythm of the (G rails is G7) all they C feel. /C /D /E

C Nighttime on the G City of New C Orleans, /B
Am Changing cars in F Memphis, Tenne- C ssee. G7
C Halfway home, and G we'll be there by C morning, /B
Through the F Misissippi darkness, (G rolling G7) down to the C sea. /B
But Am all the towns and people seem
To Em fade into a bad dream,
The C steel rail still ain't heard the D news. (Dm7-G7)
The con- Am ductor sings his songs again,
The Em passengers will please refrain,
This F train's got the disap- (G pearin' G7) railroad C blues. /C /D /E
