GUEST,Art Thieme Lyr Req: 4th verse? City of New Orleans (18) RE: Lyr Req: 4th verse? City of New Orleans 02 Feb 05


It was Fleming Brown who, on the fly, changed the lyric to "Golden Vanity". I used to tell about his doing before I'd do that song.

I don't even remember the correct way any more.

Fleming sang:

The Captain looked down, and the Captain he did smile,

So he made up the next line:

"5000 pounds and my daughter for a while."
