《Promised Land》歌词

[00:00:00] Promised Land - Elvis Presley (猫王)

[00:00:17] I left my home in Norfolk Virginia

[00:00:19] California on my mind

[00:00:22] I straddled that Greyhound

[00:00:23] And rode into Raleigh

[00:00:25] And on across Caroline

[00:00:28] We had motor trouble that turn into a struggle

[00:00:30] Halfway across Alabam'

[00:00:33] And that hound broke down

[00:00:34] And left us all stranded

[00:00:35] In downtown Birmingham

[00:00:38] Right away I brought me a through train ticket

[00:00:41] Ridin' across Mississippi clean

[00:00:43] And I was on that midnight flyer

[00:00:45] Out of Birmingham

[00:00:46] Smoking into New Orleans

[00:00:49] Somebody help me get out of Louisiana

[00:00:51] Just to help me get to Houston Town

[00:00:54] There are people there who care a little about me

[00:00:57] And they won't let the poor boy down

[00:01:14] Sure as you're born brought me a silk suit

[00:01:17] Put luggage in my hand

[00:01:19] And I woke up high over Alberquerque

[00:01:21] On a jet to the promised land

[00:01:24] Working on a T-bone steak a la carte

[00:01:27] Flying over to the golden state

[00:01:29] When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes

[00:01:32] He would set us at the terminal gate

[00:01:35] Swing low chariot come down easy

[00:01:38] Taxi to the terminal zone

[00:01:40] Cut your engines and cool your wings

[00:01:42] And let me make it to the telephone

[00:01:45] Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia

[00:01:48] Tidewater four ten o nine

[00:01:51] Tell the folks back home

[00:01:52] This is the promised land calling

[00:01:53] And the poor boy is on the line

[00:02:08] Right away I brought me a through train ticket

[00:02:10] Ridin' across Mississippi clean

[00:02:13] And I was on that midnight flyer

[00:02:15] Out of Birmingham

[00:02:16] Smoking into New Orleans

[00:02:18] Somebody help me get out of Louisiana

[00:02:21] Just to help me get to Houston Town

[00:02:24] There are people there who care a little about me

[00:02:26] And they won't let the poor boy down

[00:02:29] Sure as you're born brought me a silk suit

[00:02:36] On a jet to the promised land

[00:03:05] Tell the folks back home

[00:03:06] This is the promised land calling

[00:03:08] And the poor boy is on the line
