The Promised Land - Ameritz Top Tributes[00:00:00]

Written by：C. Berry[00:00:01]

I left my home in Norfolk Virginia[00:00:04]

California on my mind[00:00:06]

I straddled that greyhound[00:00:09]

And rolled in into Raleigh and all across Carolina[00:00:11]

Stopped in Charlotte and bypassed rock hill[00:00:15]

And we never was a minute late[00:00:17]

We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown[00:00:20]

Rollin' out of Georgia state[00:00:23]

We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle[00:00:26]

Half way 'cross Alabam[00:00:28]

And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded[00:00:31]

In downtown Birmingham[00:00:35]

Right away I bought me a through train ticket[00:00:49]

Ridin' cross Mississippi clean[00:00:51]

And I was on that midnight flier out of Birmingham[00:00:54]

Smoking into New Orleans[00:00:57]

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

Just help me get to Houston town[00:01:02]

There are people there who care a little 'bout me[00:01:05]

And they won't let the poor boy down[00:01:08]

Sure as you're born they bought me a silk suit[00:01:11]

Put luggage in my hands[00:01:14]

And I woke up high over Albuquerque[00:01:16]

On a jet to the promised land[00:01:19]

Workin' on a T-bone steak a La Carte[00:01:34]

Flying over to the golden state[00:01:36]

Oh when the pilot told me in thirteen minutes[00:01:39]

We'd be headin' in the terminal gate[00:01:42]

Swing low chariot come down easy[00:01:45]

Taxi to the terminal zone[00:01:47]

Cut your engines cool your wings[00:01:51]

And let me make it to the telephone[00:01:53]

Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia[00:01:56]

Tidewater four ten o nine[00:01:59]

Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin'[00:02:02]

And the poor boy's on the line[00:02:04]
