Promised Land - Top of the Poppers[00:00:00]

I left my home in Norfolk Virginia[00:00:10]

California on my mind[00:00:13]

I straddled that Greyhound[00:00:15]

And rode into Raleigh[00:00:16]

And on across Caroline[00:00:18]

We had motor trouble that turn into a struggle[00:00:20]

Halfway across Alabam'[00:00:23]

And that hound broke down and left us all stranded[00:00:25]

In downtown Birmingham[00:00:27]

Right away I brought me a through train ticket[00:00:30]

Ridin' across Mississippi clean[00:00:33]

And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham[00:00:35]

Smoking into New Orleans[00:00:38]

Somebody help me get out of Louisiana[00:00:40]

Just to help me get to Houston Town[00:00:43]

Are there people there who care a little about me[00:00:45]

And they won't let the poor boy down[00:00:48]

Sure as you're born brought me a silk suit[00:01:04]

Put luggage in my hand[00:01:06]

And I woke up high over Alberquerque[00:01:09]

On a jet to the promised land[00:01:11]

Working on a T-bone steak a la carte[00:01:14]

Flying over to the golden state[00:01:16]

Ah when the pilot told us in thirteen minutes[00:01:19]

He would set us at the terminal gate[00:01:21]

Swing low chariot come down easy[00:01:24]

Taxi to the terminal zone[00:01:26]

Cut your engines and cool your wings[00:01:29]

And let me make it to the telephone[00:01:31]

Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia[00:01:34]

Tidewater four ten o nine[00:01:37]

Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling[00:01:39]

And the poor boy is on the line[00:01:41]

Working on a T-bone steak a la carte[00:01:58]

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

Ah when the pilot told us in thirteen minutes[00:02:03]

He would set us at the terminal gate[00:02:05]

Swing low chariot come down easy[00:02:08]

Taxi to the terminal zone[00:02:11]

Cut your engines and cool your wings[00:02:13]

And let me make it to the telephone[00:02:16]

Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia[00:02:18]

Tidewater four ten o nine[00:02:21]

Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling[00:02:23]

And the poor boy is on the line[00:02:26]
