[Verse 1]
I left my home in Norfolk, Virginia,
F
California on my mind.
G
I straddled that Greyhound and rode him into Raleigh and on
C
across Caroline.
We stopped in Charlotte, but bypassed Rock Hill,
F
we never was a minute late.
G
A, we was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown,
C
rollin' out of Georgia State.
We had motor trouble that turned into a struggle half way
F
across Alabam',
G
And that 'Hound broke down and left us all stranded in
C
downtown Birmingham.

[Verse 2]
C
Right away I bought me a through train ticket,
F
ridin' 'cross Mississippi clean.
G
And I was on that Midnight Flyer out of Birmingham smokin'
C
into New Orleans.
Somebody help me get out of Lou'siana,
F
just help me get to Houston town.
G
There are a people there who care a little 'bout me and
C
they won't let the poor boy down.
Sure as you're born, they bought me a silk suit,
F
and put luggage in my hand.
G
And I woke up high over Albuquerque on a jet to the
C
Promised Land.
[Verse 3]
C F G C C
A workin' on a Tbone steak a la carte,
F
flyin' over to the Golden State,
G
A when the pilot told us in thirteen minutes he would set
C
us at the terminal gate.
Swing low, chariot, come down easy,
F
taxi to the terminal zone.
G
Cut your engines and cool your wings and let me make it to
C
the telephone.
Los Angeles, give me Norfolk,
F
Virginia Tidewater fourteen o nine.
G
Tell the folks back home this is the Promised Land callin'
C
and the poor boy's on the line.
