Verse
D#
Left my home in Norfolk, Virginia,
G#
California on my mind.
A#
I straddled that Greyhound, rode him into Raleigh,
D#
And on across Caroline.
[Verse 2]
D#
We stopped in Charlotte but bypassed Rock Hill,
G#
And we never was a minute late.
A#
We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown,
D#
Rollin' out of Georgia state.
[Verse 3]
D#
We had motor trouble, it turned into a struggle,
G#
Half way 'cross Alabam,
A#
And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded
D#
In downtown Birmingham.
[Verse 4]
D#
Right away, I bought me a through-train ticket,
G#
Right 'cross Mississippi clean
A#
And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham
D#
Smoking into New Orleans.
[Verse 5]
D#
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana
G#
Just to help me get to Houston Town
A#
There are people there who care a little about me
D#
And they won't let the poor boy down
[Verse 6]
D#
Sure as you're born they bought me a silk suit
G#
Put luggage in my hand
A#
And I woke up high over Alburquerque
D#
On a jet to the promised land
[Verse 7]
D#
Working on a T-bone steak a la carte
G#
Flying over to the Golden State
A#
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes
D#
He would set us at the terminal gate
[Verse 8]
D#
Swing low chariot come down easy
G#
Taxi to the terminal zone
A#
Cut your engines and cool your wings
D#
And let me make it to the telephone
[Verse 9]
D#
Los Angeles, give me No'folk, V'ginia
G#
Tidewater four ten o nine
A#
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling
D#
And the poor boy is on the line
