In this feature, we've previously done Sweet Little Sixteen and Dancing in the Streets. Now let's add Night Train. It's a very East Coast-centric song, basically consisting of James Brown shouting out the stops the Night Train is taking. (Next week, to make up for that, we'll do a West Coast-centric song.) It was originally done in 1951 by Jimmy Forrest, and has been covered numerous times, but James Brown's cover is by far the most famous version.
All aboard for the night train
Miami, Florida
Atlanta, Georgia
Raleigh, North Carolina
Washington, DC
Oh, and Richmond, Virginia too
Baltimore, Maryland
Philadelphia
New York City
Take it home
and don't forget New Orleans
the home of the blues
Not sure how the train jumps from New York to New Orleans there at the end. Here are the cities in this song:
Atlanta
Baltimore
Miami
New Orleans
New York City
Philadelphia
Raleigh
Richmond
Washington, DC
