Verse 1
A
B
A
I left
my home in
Norfolk,
Virginia,
D
California, on my mind
E
I straddled that greyhound
and rode it into
Raleigh and all across
Carolina
A
We stopped at
Charlotte to buy a pass right here,
we never was a minute late
D
E
And we were 90 miles out of
Atlanta by sundown
Rollin' out of
Georgia
A
State
We had no trouble
It turned into a struggle
Halfway across
D
Alabama
E
And that hound broke down
And left us all stranded
In downtown
Birmingham
A
Hey!
D
E
A
All right!
Right away,
bought me a through -train ticket
Riding across
D
Mississippi clean
E
And I was on that midnight fly
Out of
Birmingham,
Spokane and
New
Orleans
A
Somebody helped me get out of
Louisiana
Just to help me hit the
D
Houston town
E
There are people there who
care a little about me
A
And they won't let the poor boy down
Sure as your ball they bought me a silk suit
D
Put luggage in my hand
E
And when I woke up I was over
Albuquerque
On a jet to the promised land
A
Hey!

A
Workin' on a cheap old steak aisle
I caught it flyin' over to the
Golden
D
State
E
When a pilot told us in thirteen minutes
A
He would set us at the terminal gate
Swing low chariot, calm down easy
D
Taxi to the terminal zone
E
Cut your wings, crew your wigs
A
And let me make it to the telephone
Los
Angeles,
Skimmy,
Norfolk,
Virginia
D
Tidewater flow 1009

Tell the folks back home
This is a promised land calling

And the po' boy is on the line
