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