《Promised Land》歌词

[00:00:00] Promised Land - Kotto

[00:00:03] Oh yeah on

[00:00:10] I left my home in Norfolk Virginia

[00:00:12] California on my mind

[00:00:14] Straddled that greyhound

[00:00:16] Rode him past Raleigh

[00:00:17] On across Caroline

[00:00:19] We had motor trouble

[00:00:21] It turned into a struggle

[00:00:22] Half way 'cross Alabama

[00:00:24] And that 'hound broke down

[00:00:26] And left us all stranded

[00:00:27] In downtown Birmingham

[00:00:29] I bought me a through train ticket

[00:00:31] Ridin' 'cross Mississippi clean

[00:00:34] And I was on that midnight flier out of Birmingham

[00:00:36] Smoking into New Orleans

[00:00:39] Somebody help me get out of Louisiana

[00:00:41] Just help me get to Houston Town

[00:00:44] There's people there

[00:00:45] Who care a little 'bout me

[00:00:46] And they won't let the poor boy down

[00:00:49] Take

[00:01:02] Sure as you're born

[00:01:03] They bought me a silk suit

[00:01:05] Put luggage in my hands

[00:01:07] And I woke up high over Albuquerque

[00:01:09] On a jet to the promised land

[00:01:12] Workin' on a T-bone steak a la carte

[00:01:14] Flying over to the golden state

[00:01:17] Oh

[00:01:17] When the pilot told me us in thirteen minutes

[00:01:19] He was headin' at the terminal gate

[00:01:22] Swing low sweet chariot

[00:01:23] Come down easy

[00:01:24] Taxi to the terminal zone

[00:01:27] Cut your engines and cool your wings

[00:01:29] And let me make it to the telephone

[00:01:32] Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia

[00:01:34] Tidewater four ten o nine

[00:01:37] Tell the folks back home

[00:01:38] This is the promised land callin'

[00:01:39] And the poor boy's on the line

[00:01:55] Workin' on a T-bone steak a la carte

[00:01:57] Flying over to the golden state

[00:02:00] Oh

[00:02:00] When the pilot told me us in thirteen minutes

[00:02:02] He was headin' at the terminal gate

[00:02:05] Swing low sweet chariot

[00:02:06] Come down easy

[00:02:07] Taxi to the terminal zone

[00:02:10] Cut your engines and cool your wings

[00:02:12] And let me make it to the telephone

[00:02:15] Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia

[00:02:17] Tidewater four ten o nine

[00:02:20] Tell the folks back home

[00:02:21] This is the promised land callin'

[00:02:22] And the poor boy's on the line

[00:02:29] Yeah yeah yeah
