Promised Land (Live, June 26/28, 1974) - Grateful Dead (感恩而死)[00:00:00]
Written by:Chuck Berry[00:00:01]
I left my home in Norfolk Virginia California on my mind[00:00:04]
Straddled that greyhound it rode me past raleigh[00:00:10]
And on across caroline[00:00:12]
Stopped in charlotte and bypassed rock hill[00:00:15]
And we never was a minute late[00:00:18]
We was ninety miles out of atlanta by sundown[00:00:21]
Rollin' 'cross the Georgia State[00:00:24]
We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle[00:00:27]
Half way 'cross Alabam[00:00:30]
The 'hound broke down left us all stranded in downtown Birmingham[00:00:33]
Straight off bought me a through train ticket[00:01:02]
Right across Mississippi clean[00:01:05]
And I was on the midnight flyer out of Birmingham[00:01:08]
Smoking into New Orleans[00:01:11]
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana[00:01:14]
Just help me get to houston town[00:01:17]
People are there who care a little 'bout me[00:01:20]
And they won't let the poor boy down[00:01:22]
Sure as she bore me she bought me a silk suit[00:01:26]
Put luggage in my hands[00:01:28]
And I woke up high over Albuquerque[00:01:32]
On a jet to the promised land[00:01:34]
Workin' on a t-bone steak a la carte[00:02:01]
Flying over to the golden state[00:02:03]
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes[00:02:06]
We'd be headin' in the terminal gate[00:02:09]
Swing low sweet chariot come down easy[00:02:12]
Taxi to the terminal zone[00:02:15]
Cut your engines cool your wings[00:02:18]
And let me make it to the telephone[00:02:21]
Los angeles give me Norfolk Virginia[00:02:24]
Tidewater four ten on nine[00:02:27]
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling'[00:02:30]
And the poor boy's on the line[00:02:33]
