The Promised Land (Live At Winterland, San Francisco, CA 10/16-20/74) - Grateful Dead (感恩而死)[00:00:00]
Written by:Chuck Berry[00:00:04]
I left my home in Norfolk Virginia[00:00:07]
California on my mind[00:00:10]
I straddled that Greyhound and rode him past Raleigh[00:00:13]
And on across Caroline[00:00:15]
We stopped at Charlotte we by passed Rockhill[00:00:19]
We never was a minute late[00:00:21]
We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown[00:00:24]
Rollin' 'cross Georgia State[00:00:27]
We had motor trouble that turned into a struggle[00:00:31]
Half way across Alabam'[00:00:33]
And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded[00:00:36]
In downtown Birmingham[00:00:39]
Right away I bought me a through train ticket[00:01:07]
Ridin' 'cross Mississippi clean[00:01:09]
And I was on the midnight flyer out of Birmingham[00:01:12]
Smokin' into New Orleans[00:01:16]
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana[00:01:18]
Just help me get to Houston town[00:01:21]
There are people there who care a little 'bout me[00:01:24]
And they won't let the poor boy down[00:01:28]
Sure as you're born they bought me a silk suit[00:01:30]
They put luggage in my hand[00:01:33]
And I woke up high over Albuquerque[00:01:36]
On a jet to the promised land[00:01:39]
Workin' on a T-bone steak a la carte[00:02:05]
Flyin' over to the Golden State[00:02:08]
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes[00:02:12]
We'd be headed in the terminal gate[00:02:14]
Swing low sweet chariot come down easy[00:02:17]
Taxi to the terminal zone[00:02:20]
Cut your engines and cool your wings[00:02:23]
And let me make it to the telephone[00:02:26]
Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia[00:02:29]
Tidewater four ten-o-nine[00:02:31]
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling[00:02:35]
And the poor boy is on the line[00:02:38]
