《Promised Land (Live at Pershing Municipal Auditorium， Lincoln， NE， February 26，)》歌词

[00:03:35] I left my home in norfolk virginia, california on my mind.

[00:03:35] Straddled that greyhound, it rode me past raleigh, and on across caroline.

[00:03:35] Stopped in charlotte and bypassed rock hill, and we never was a minute late.

[00:03:35] We was ninety miles out of atlanta by sundown, rollin' 'cross the georgia state.

[00:03:35] Had motor trouble it turned into a struggle, half way 'cross alabam,

[00:03:35] The 'hound broke down left us all stranded in downtown birmingham.

[00:03:35] Straight off bought me a through train ticket, right across mississippi clean

[00:03:35] And i was on the midnight flyer out of birmingham

[00:03:35] Smoking into new orleans.

[00:03:35] Somebody help me get out of louisiana

[00:03:35] Just help me get to houston town.

[00:03:35] People are there who care a little 'bout me

[00:03:35] And they won't let the poor boy down.

[00:03:35] Sure as she bore me, she bought me a silk suit, put luggage in my hands,

[00:03:35] And i woke up high over albuquerque

[00:03:35] On a jet to the promised land.

[00:03:35] Workin' on a t-bone steak a la carte,

[00:03:35] Flying over to the golden state;

[00:03:35] When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes

[00:03:35] We'd be headin' in the terminal gate.

[00:03:35] Swing low sweet chariot, come down easy

[00:03:35] Taxi to the terminal zone;

[00:03:35] Cut your engines, cool your wings,

[00:03:35] And let me make it to the telephone.

[00:03:35] Los angeles give me norfolk virginia,

[00:03:35] Tidewater four ten on nine

[00:03:35] Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin'

[00:03:35] And the poor boy's on the line.
