《Promised Land》歌词

[00:00:03] I left my home in Norfolk Virginia California on my mind

[00:00:08] Straddled that Greyhound it rode me past Raleigh

[00:00:11] And on across Caroline

[00:00:14] Stopped in Charlotte and bypassed Rock Hill

[00:00:16] We never was a minute late

[00:00:19] We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown

[00:00:22] Rolling cross the Georgia state

[00:00:36] We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle

[00:00:39] Half way across Alabam

[00:00:42] The ahound broke down left us all stranded

[00:00:45] In downtown Birmingham

[00:00:47] Well we straight off bought me a through train ticket

[00:00:50] Right across Mississippi clean

[00:00:53] And I was on the midnight flyer out of Birmingham

[00:00:55] Smoking into New Orleans

[00:00:58] Somebody help me get out of Louisiana

[00:01:01] Just help me get to Houston town

[00:01:04] People are there who care a little about me

[00:01:07] And they won't let the poor boy down

[00:01:09] Sure as she bore me she bought me a silk suit

[00:01:12] Put luggage in my hands

[00:01:14] And I woke up high over Albuquerque

[00:01:17] On a jet to the promised land

[00:01:44] Working on a Tbone steak a la carte

[00:01:47] Flying over to the Golden State

[00:01:49] When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes

[00:01:52] We'd be heading in the terminal gate

[00:01:55] Swing low sweet chariot come down easy

[00:01:57] Taxi to the terminal zone

[00:02:00] Cut your engines cool your wings

[00:02:03] And let me make it to the telephone

[00:02:06] Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia tide water four ten on nine

[00:02:11] Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling

[00:02:14] And the poor boy's on the line
