Hello  
I must be going  
For I just came to say  
I must be going  
I’m glad I came  
But just the same  
I must be going.

Go on now, go!  
Walk out the door!  
Just turn around now!  
'Cause you aren’t welcome anymore!

Somebody’s knockin’, should I let him in?  
Lord, it’s the Devil, would you look at him?  
I’ve heard about him, but I never dreamed  
He’d have blue eyes and blue jeans.

And what about this Bacchus,  
Who lives just to raise a ruckus?  
Loosens women so they’ll fuck us,  
Well, that’s good enough for me!

I met a gin soaked bar-room queen in Memphis,  
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride.

It’s time to take me home

You don’t need no ticket,  
You just get on board.

Good night, America, how are you?  
I say don’t you know me? I’m your native son.  
I’m the train they call The City of New Orleans,  
And I’ll be gone 500 miles when the day is done.

Straight off, I bought me a through train ticket,  
Ridin’ cross Mississippi clean  
And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham  
Smoking into New Orleans.

</div>

hear the train a comin’  
It’s rolling round the bend  
And I ain’t seen the sunshine since I don’t know when,  
I’m stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin’ on  
But that train keeps a rollin’ on down to San Antone…  
When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,  
Always be a good boy, don’t ever play with guns.  
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die  
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry…

Little red caboose, chug, chug, chug,  
Little red caboose, chug, chug, chug  
Little red caboose behind the train, train, train, train  
Smokestack on its back, back, back, back  
Coming down the track, track, track, track  
Little red caboose behind the train.

Trouble ahead, a lady in red  
Take my advice, you’d be better off dead  
Switchman’s sleepin’ and Train 102  
Is on the wrong track and heading for you

Heaven  
I’m in heaven  
And the cares  
That hung around me  
Through the week  
Seem to vanish  
Like a gamblers  
Lucky streak  
When we’re out together  
Dancing cheek to cheek

Thirteen’s my lucky number,  
To you it means stay inside.  
Black cat done crossed my path,  
No reason to run and hide.  
You’re looking through a cracked mirror.  
No one really knows the reason why.  
Your enemies are gettin’ nearer.  
Gonna hang down your head and cry…

Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin’ glass  
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past.  
When you believe in things that you don’t understand,  
Then you suffer, Superstition ain’t the way
