Promised Land (Live at Baltimore Civic Center, September 17, 1972) - 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[00:00:12]
Straddled that greyhound it rode me past Raleigh[00:00:18]
And on across Caroline[00:00:21]
Stopped in Charlotte and bypassed rock hill[00:00:24]
We never was a minute late[00:00:27]
We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown[00:00:30]
We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle[00:00:36]
Half way across Alabama[00:00:39]
The ahound broke down left us all stranded[00:00:42]
In downtown Birmingham[00:00:45]
Bought me a through train ticket[00:01:14]
Right across Mississippi clean[00:01:16]
And I was on the midnight flyer out of Birmingham[00:01:19]
Smoking into New Orleans[00:01:22]
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana[00:01:25]
Just help me get to Houston town[00:01:28]
People are there who care a little about me[00:01:32]
And they won't let the poor boy down[00:01:34]
Sure as she bore me she bought me a silk suit[00:01:38]
Put luggage in my hands[00:01:41]
And I woke up high over Albuquerque[00:01:43]
On a jet to the promised land[00:01:46]
Working on a Tbone steak a LA carte[00:02:14]
Flying over to the Golden State[00:02:16]
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes[00:02:19]
We'd be heading in the terminal gate[00:02:22]
Swing low sweet chariot come down easy[00:02:26]
Taxi to the terminal zone[00:02:29]
Cut your engines cool your wings[00:02:32]
And let me make it to the telephone[00:02:34]
Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia tide water four ten on nine[00:02:37]
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling[00:02:43]
And the poor boy's on the line[00:02:46]
