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
