DRidin' on the CitAy of New OrleaDns BmIllinois Central GMonday mornin'D rail DThere's 15 cars, Aand 15 restless Driders Bm3 conductors andA 25 sacks of maDil BmAll along a southbound oddyssey, F♯mand the train pulls out of Kankakee AAnd rolls along past the houses, farms and Efields BmPassin' trains that have no name,F♯m and freightyards full of old black men AThe graveyards of tA7he rusted automobilDesStandard guitar tuning:EADGBENo capoChorus

DDealin card games wAith the old men in the club Dcar. BmPenny a point, aGint no one keepin' scDore DPass the paper bAag that holds that botDtle. BmHear the wheels Arumblin' neath the Dfloor. BmAnd the sons of Pullman Porters, and the sons of engineers F♯m ARide their father's magic carpet made of Esteel BmMothers with their babes asleep are F♯mrockin to the gentle beat AAnd the rhythm of the A7rails is all they Dfeel.Chorus
