City Of New Orleans — Steve Goodman (1971)

"City Of New Orleans" was written and originally recorded by Steve Goodman for his 1971 debut album. The best-known version is by Arlo Guthrie - recorded for his 1972 album, “Hobo’s Lullaby”. It is Arlo's only Top 40 hit. The song has been covered many times since – most notably by Willie Nelson, who took it to #1 on the Country Charts in 1984.
