I left my home in Norfolk Virginia California on my mind [00:00:03]

Straddled that Greyhound it rode me past Raleigh [00:00:08]

And on across Caroline [00:00:11]

Stopped in Charlotte and bypassed Rock Hill [00:00:14]

We never was a minute late [00:00:16]

We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown [00:00:19]

Rolling cross the Georgia state [00:00:22]

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

Half way across Alabam [00:00:39]

The ahound broke down left us all stranded [00:00:42]

In downtown Birmingham [00:00:45]

Well we straight off bought me a through train ticket [00:00:47]

Right across Mississippi clean [00:00:50]

And I was on the midnight flyer out of Birmingham [00:00:53]

Smoking into New Orleans [00:00:55]

Somebody help me get out of Louisiana [00:00:58]

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

People are there who care a little about me [00:01:04]

And they won't let the poor boy down [00:01:07]

Sure as she bore me she bought me a silk suit [00:01:09]

Put luggage in my hands [00:01:12]

And I woke up high over Albuquerque [00:01:14]

On a jet to the promised land [00:01:17]

Working on a Tbone steak a la carte [00:01:44]

Flying over to the Golden State [00:01:47]

When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes [00:01:49]

We'd be heading in the terminal gate [00:01:52]

Swing low sweet chariot come down easy [00:01:55]

Taxi to the terminal zone [00:01:57]

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

And let me make it to the telephone [00:02:03]

Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia tide water four ten on nine [00:02:06]

Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling [00:02:11]

And the poor boy's on the line [00:02:14]
