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