The City of New Orleans - Arlo Guthrie

(I'm blue do be do be do be do)

Gong gong gong gong gong gong gong yeah

(I'm blue do be do be do be do)

Gong gong gong gong gong gong gong yeah

(I'm blue do be do be do be do)

I wanna tell all you people

I dropped a penny in the well

Hoping you would come back soon

I couldn't believe what I heard

A fortune teller told me

My love with you was doomed

I hope her reading was wrong

I hope she was wrong

'Cause you been gone too long come home

Hey gong gong gong yeah

(I'm blue do be do be do be do)

Gong gong gong gong gong gong gong yeah

(I'm blue do be do be do be do)

Gong gong gong gong gong gong gong yeah

(I'm blue do be do be do be do)

I can't sleep at night for thinking of you

Every night about two

My love for you comes tumblin' down

I can't stand being here alone

I start a feelin' and a fumblin'

But you ain't nowhere around

I hope her reading was wrong

I hope she was wrong

'Cause you been gone too long come home

Hey gong gong gong yeah

(I'm blue do be do be do be do)

Hey gong gong gong yeah

(I'm blue do be do be do be do)

Gong gong gong gong gong gong gong yeah

(I'm blue do be do be do be do)

(I'm blue do be do be do be do)

Gong gong gong gong gong gong gong yeah
