John Denver - City Of New Orleans Lyrics

WE DON'T HAVE THIS SPIRIT IN 2019,MISS AND LOVE YOU JOHN DENVER🎻💜💞🎶🎼🎵💗

John Denver(December 31st,1943-October 12th,1997).!

That's not john denver... Unless you slowed his voice way down.

I grew up with the album at the beginning, listening to this song. Brings back the memories.

He did a good job on Steve Goodman's song.

Nice RIP Mr John

Pure Americana 🇺🇸

Goddamn. Fuck John Denver. Became a millionaire singing about a shit hole state. All of a sudden he becomes a saint? Geez. Get a life.

Don't listen if you don't like him.

F**k Scott Teague, what have you ever done in your pitiful sad life. Look Mr Deutchendorf up, he became a humanitarian and environmentalist, tried to do good in this bloody awful world, made worse by things like you. Get a life, that applies to you....

Love the version by Judy Collins which I think is the very best

While I am a big John Denver fan, this cover of City is not quite up to his usual standards.

And not as good as the Arlo Guthrie version.

R.I.P john

I remember my parents bought me this album when I was 4 years old because I saw it on a commercial. had to be about 4 or 5 years old so around 1999-2000. listened to it front to back every day for I couldn't tell you how long. always said I'd work for the railroad. in a few months I'll finally be doing it. John Denver brings some of the best memories of my childhood back. so glad I found this today

great story !

I like this song

As a Chicagoan, let me first say that there will never be another Steve Goodman. As a 12 String guitar player and a folk fan, with a wit and talent to back all he ever said or did, Steve Goodman has written his name in the annuls of time, and, did it with class and a fire in his belly. So many ways, he wooed an audience into a story with a song. He manifested the art and song writing with a twist and turn, and now and again, he would make seasoned professional musicians shed a tear with his talent. Kris Kristofferson has made
a video about what and how Steve Goodman affected him the very first time he heard him. "The man just blew me away"!! Marty Stuart was another that was overwhelmed with his talent and guitar expertise. About John Denver, as a Guitar guy, he was very good with a voice that really got him to the top of the charts. Also an excellent song writer, and performer, too, John was another one of my favorite souls to express the matters of the hearts with a guitar. Both talented, both unforgettable, both gone way too early. Loved them both, will always be a fan of both. And may God rest their sweet souls in Eternity forever in Heaven. Let their souls through the Mercy of God, Rest in Peace!

As a young man I took guitar lessons at the Old Town School of Music in Chicago (back when it was actually in Old Town!) and this was one of the first songs we learned. Chicago Pride. :)

Goodman was in a league by himself. One of the most underrated singer/songwriters ever. He was a presious moment to music.

This is the only song I've heard by Goodman that I like. It's almost like god reached down and gave it to him

Well, screw Goodman, eh? He ain't being listened to here

nice song , but i like johnny cash's version better :)

I like Willie Nelson's cover the best.

I prefer Arlo Guthrie's ;)

Not one of his best !

shmuck, but good singer.

+cowfy Kaufman That is true.

+cowfy Kaufman how is john a foolish person?

you do not hit your wife.....maybe you do?

I don't have a wife and if I did I certainly wouldn't hit her. I looked up the definition of shmuck and it said a foolish person. also, what proof do you have that he beat his wife, (also which one, he had a divorce and remarried)

The problem is John Denver took credit for writing the song on his album and changed lyrics without Goodmans approval. How could he even ask Goodman if Denver thought he wrote it himself? This is a later version as Denver changed " old black men "  to " old gray men" in his album before the credit was rightfully given to Goodman.

+1-Shot slinger I did not know that. I did know that Steve Goodman wrote the song.

+lvsrlmsc It pissed Arlo Guthrie off when he found out about Denver claiming it and changing the lyrics, According to a DJ I listen to Arlo was the one who called Denver to complain what he had done.

+lvsrlmsc That is if you can believe every story a dj tells . I tend to do that without researching.

John Denver is dead, yet Kanye West still lives.

There is no justice in this world.

There's plenty of justice pick up your head and thank God.

Stop. John Denver had one of the greatest voices known to mankind. Kanye West doesn't deserve to die nor does anyone.

i dont like kanye or his god complex but this comment doesnt make any sense at all lmao

Kanye is kind of the anti-Denver tho. Denver, unpretentious yet massive talent, master of actual music making. Kanye, total pretention, couldn't carry a tune to save his life. I'd love to see that guy alone on stage with an instrument. It'd be trainwreck

Dude seriously i love John Denver and this kind of music in general but many completely misunderstand Kanye. If you give this guy a shot you might find out hes a pretty talented and pretty intelligent bloke with a deep meaning behind his stuff and just never learned how to express it all properly.

I love !!!!!!!!!!!

almost as good as his first version on the Aerie album.
