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.

Farewell to Tarwathie
Adieu Mormond Hill
And the dear land of Crimmond
I bid you farewell
I'm bound off for Greenland
And ready to sail
In hopes to find riches
In hunting the whale

@edgarblythe,
Uncanny, edgar, exactly what I was going to post.

So (trash and largely forgotten):

Jerry was a racecar driver
He drove so goddamn fast
He never did win a checkered flag
But he never did come in last
- Primus, Jerry Was a Race Car Driver

Mr. Record Man, I'm looking for a song I heard today.
- Willie, Mr. Record Man (I think the title be)

Here comes the rich man in his big long limousine

Here comes the poor man all you got to have is green

Here comes the banker and the lawyer and the cop

One thing for certain it ain't never gonna stop

Yeah, but let me tell you people,
little Egypt doesn't dance there anymore, wo wo.
She's too busy mopping and
a taking care of shopping at the store, wo wo.
'Cause we got seven kids and
all day long they crawl around the floor, wo wo,
singing, "Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah!"

My father was a fisherman
my mama was the fisherman's friend
and I was born in the boredom and the chowder
So when I reached my prime
I left my home in the maritimes
Headed down the turnpike for New England
Sweet New England
