I ^G LEFT MY HOME IN NORFOLK VIRGINIA
CALIFORNIA ON MY ^C MIND
I ^D BOARDED THAT GREYHOUND,
RODE IN INTO RALIEGH ON ACROSS CAROL ^G INE
^G STOPPED IN CHARLOTTE TO BY PASS ROCKHILL
WE NEVER WAS A MINUTE ^C LATE
WE WERE ^D NINTY MILES OUT OF ATLANTA BY SUNDOWN
ROLLIN' OUT OF GEORGIA ^G STATE
WE ^G HAD MOTOR TROUBLE THAT TURNED INTO A STRUGGLE
HALFWAY ACROSS ALA ^C BAM
AND THAT ^D BOW BROKE DOWN
AND LEFT US STRANDED IN DOWNTOWN BIRMING ^G HAM
^G RIGHT AWAY I BOUGHT A THROUGH TRAIN TICKET

AND WON'T PUT THE POOR BOY ^G DOWN
^G GEORGIA BORN, THEY BOUGHT ME A SILK SUIT
AND PUT LUGGAGE IN MY ^C HAND
AND ^D WOKE UP HIGH OVER ALBUQUERQUE
ON A JET TO THE PROMISED ^G LAND
^G WORKIN' ON A T-BONE ALA CARTEE
FLYIN' OVER TO THE GOLDEN ^C STATE
WHEN THE ^D PILOT TOLD US IN THIRTEEN MINUTES
HE WOULD SET US AT THE TERMINAL ^G GATE
^G SWING LOW CHARIOT, COME DOWN EASY

^D CUT YOUR ENGINES AND COOL YOUR WINGS
AND LET ME MAKE IT TO THE TELE ^G PHONE

IT'S THE PROMISED LAND CALLIN'
AND THE POOR BOY IS ON THE ^G LINE
