《Promised Land》歌词

[00:00:00] Promised Land - Grateful Dead (感恩而死)

[00:00:01] Written by：Chuck Berry

[00:00:04] I left my home in Norfolk Virginia California on my mind

[00:00:10] Straddled that greyhound it rode me past raleigh

[00:00:12] And on across caroline

[00:00:15] Stopped in charlotte and bypassed rock hill

[00:00:18] And we never was a minute late

[00:00:21] We was ninety miles out of atlanta by sundown

[00:00:24] Rollin' 'cross the Georgia State

[00:00:27] We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle

[00:00:30] Half way 'cross Alabam

[00:00:33] The 'hound broke down left us all stranded in downtown Birmingham

[00:01:02] Straight off bought me a through train ticket

[00:01:05] Right across Mississippi clean

[00:01:08] And I was on the midnight flyer out of Birmingham

[00:01:11] Smoking into New Orleans

[00:01:14] Somebody help me get out of Louisiana

[00:01:17] Just help me get to houston town

[00:01:20] People are there who care a little 'bout me

[00:01:22] And they won't let the poor boy down

[00:01:26] Sure as she bore me she bought me a silk suit

[00:01:28] Put luggage in my hands

[00:01:32] And I woke up high over Albuquerque

[00:01:34] On a jet to the promised land

[00:02:01] Workin' on a t-bone steak a la carte

[00:02:03] Flying over to the golden state

[00:02:06] When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes

[00:02:09] We'd be headin' in the terminal gate

[00:02:12] Swing low sweet chariot come down easy

[00:02:15] Taxi to the terminal zone

[00:02:18] Cut your engines cool your wings

[00:02:21] And let me make it to the telephone

[00:02:24] Los angeles give me Norfolk Virginia

[00:02:27] Tidewater four ten on nine

[00:02:30] Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling'

[00:02:33] And the poor boy's on the line
