作曲：

I left my home in Norfolk Virginia California on my mind

I straddled that greyhound and rode him

Into raleigh and on across Caroline

I had motor trouble that turned into

A struggle halfway across Alabama

And that 'Hound broke down and left me

All stranded in downtown Birmingham

Right away I bought me a through train

Ticket ridin' across mississippi clean

And I was on the midnight flyer out of

Birmingham smokin' into new Orleans

Somebody helped me get out of Louisiana

Just to help me get to houston town

There are people there who care a little 'bout me

And they won't let a poor boy down

Sure as you're born they bought me a silk

Suit they put luggage in my hand

And I woke up high over albuquerque

On a jet to the promised land

Workin' on a tbone steak I had a party flyin'

Over to the golden state

When the pilot told me in thirteen minutes

He would get us at the terminal zone

Swing low chariot come down easy taxi to the terminal zone

Cut your engines and cool your wings and let me

Make it to the telephone

Los angeles give me Norfolk Virginia tidewater 4 10 09

And tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin'

And the poor boy's on the line

Swing low chariot come down easy taxi to the terminal zone

Cut your engines and cool your wings and let me

Make it to the telephone

Los angeles give me Norfolk Virginia tidewater 4 10 09

And tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin'

And the poor boy's on the line

And tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin'

And their big boy's on the line
