(歌手讲述) [00:00:00]

I left my home in norfolk virginia california on my mind [00:00:13]

Straddled that greyhound it rode me past raleigh [00:00:19]

And on across caroline [00:00:22]

Stopped in charlotte and bypassed rock hill [00:00:24]

And we never was a minute late [00:00:28]

We was ninety miles out of atlanta by sundown [00:00:31]

Rolling across the georgia state [00:00:34]

Had motor trouble it turned into a struggle [00:00:37]

Half way across alabam [00:00:40]

The ahound broke down left us [00:00:43]

All stranded in downtown birmingham [00:00:45]

Straight off bought me a through train ticket [00:01:24]

Right across mississippi clean [00:01:27]

And I was on the midnight flyer out of birmingham [00:01:30]

Smoking into new orleans [00:01:32]

Somebody help me get out of louisiana [00:01:36]

Just help me get to houston town [00:01:39]

People are there who care a little 'bout me [00:01:42]

And they won't let the poor boy down [00:01:45]

Sure as she bore me she bought me a silk suit [00:01:48]

Put luggage in my hands [00:01:51]

And I woke up high over albuquerque [00:01:54]

On a jet to the promised land [00:01:57]

Working on a t bone steak a la carte [00:02:35]

Flying over to the golden state [00:02:37]

When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes [00:02:41]

We'd be heading in the terminal gate [00:02:44]

Swing low sweet chariot come down easy [00:02:47]

Taxi to the terminal zone [00:02:50]

Cut your engines cool your wings [00:02:53]

And let me make it to the telephone [00:02:56]

Los angeles give me norfolk virginia [00:02:59]

Tidewater four ten on nine [00:03:02]

Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling [00:03:05]

And the poor boy's on the line [00:03:08]
