Left my home in Norfolk, Virginia,

California on my mind.

I straddled that Greyhound, rode him into Raleigh,
A#
And on across Caroline.

We stopped in Charlotte but bypassed Rock Hill,
D#
And we never was a minute late.

We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown,
A#
Rollin' out of Georgia state.

D#
Half way 'cross Alabam,
F
And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded
A#
In downtown Birmingham.
[Verse 4]

Right away, I bought me a through-train ticket,
D#
Right 'cross Mississippi clean

Smoking into New Orleans.

Put luggage in my hand

On a jet to the promised land
