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