Arlo Guthrie - City of New Orleans

The City of New Orleans by Steve Goodman

Riding on the City of New Orleans, Illinois Central Monday morning rail Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders, Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail. All along the southbound odyssey The train pulls out at Kankakee Rolls along past houses, farms and fields. Passin' trains that have no names, Freight yards full of old black men And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.

CHORUS: Good morning America how are you? Don't you know me I'm your native son, I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans, I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.

Dealin' card games with the old men in the club car. Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score. Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor. And the sons of pullman porters And the sons of engineers Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel. Mothers with their babes asleep, Are rockin' to the gentle beat And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel.

CHORUS

Nighttime on The City of New Orleans, Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee. Half way home, we'll be there by morning Through the Mississippi darkness Rolling down to the sea. And all the towns and people seem To fade into a bad dream And the steel rails still ain't heard the news. The conductor sings his song again, The passengers will please refrain This train's got the disappearing railroad blues.

Good night, America, how are you? Don't you know me I'm your native son, I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans, I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.

Count Basie: "One O'Clock Jump"

This song was Basie's theme, and for some time it didn't have a title. One night before going on the air, Basie and his band were just jamming when the engineer, who had been lost in the music, looked at the clock and panicked. He yelled, "It's one o'clock. Jump!" That's how it got its name.

[Fiji Hill]

"Eight Days a Week" by the Beatles must have been inspired by the proposal, around the time the song came out, for an eight-day week that would allow for a three-day weekend. It was proposed that Maury Wills Day be inserted between Friday and Saturday.

Re 2525: After being a one-hit (number) wonder Denny Zager became a luthier. I own a Zager guitar. It’s a sweet instrument - easy to play with a rich and warm sound.
