《Promise Land》歌词

[00:00:14] Promised Land -Various Artists

[00:00:17] I left my home in Norfolk Virginia

[00:00:19] California on my mind

[00:00:19] Straddled that Greyhound rode him past Raleigh

[00:00:23] On across Caroline

[00:00:26] Stopped in Charlotte and bypassed Rock Hill

[00:00:29] And we never was a minute late

[00:00:30] We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown

[00:00:33] Rollin' 'cross the Georgia state

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

[00:00:42] Half way 'cross Alabam

[00:00:59] And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded

[00:01:07] In downtown Birmingham

[00:01:09] Straight off I bought me a through train ticket

[00:01:13] Ridin' cross Mississippi clean

[00:01:15] And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham

[00:01:17] Smoking into New Orleans

[00:01:21] Somebody help me get out of Louisiana

[00:01:23] Just help me get to Houston town

[00:01:26] There's people there who care a little 'bout me

[00:01:56] And they won't let the poor boy down

[00:01:59] Sure as you're born they bought me a silk suit

[00:02:01] Put luggage in my hands

[00:02:04] And I woke up high over Albuquerque

[00:02:08] On a jet to the promised land

[00:02:33] Workin' on a T-bone steak a la carte

[00:02:51] Flying over to the Golden State;

[00:02:52] The pilot told me in thirteen minutes

[00:03:08] We'd be headin' in the terminal gate

[00:03:10] Swing low sweet chariot come down easy

[00:03:12] Taxi to the terminal zone;

[00:03:13] Cut your engines cool your wings

[00:03:17] And let me make it to the telephone

[00:03:22] Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia

[00:03:26] Tidewater four ten O nine

[00:03:37] Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin'

[00:03:44] And the poor boy's on the line

[00:03:46] Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling

[00:03:50] And the poor boy is on the line
