Rode him into Raleigh, and

We / stopped in Charlotte, to / by pass Brockhill,
/ G / C
We / never was a minute / late,
/ D /
We was / ninety miles out of At - / lanta by sundown,

Rollin’ out of Georgia / state.
/ G /
We / had motor trouble that / turned into a struggle,

In / downtown Birming - / ham.

I was / on that midnight / flyer out of Birmingham,

Smokin’ into New Or - / leans.

Somebody help me get / out of Louisiana,
G / C
Help me get to Houston / town,
/ D /
There are / people there, who / care a bit about me, and
/ D / G
They / won’t let the po’ boy / down.

Sure as you’re born they / bought me a silk suit,
G / C
Put luggage in my / hand, and

I / woke up high over / Alberquerque,
/ D / G
On a / jet to the promised / land.

G /
Workin’ on a T-bone / steak a la carte,

/ D /
When the / pilot told us in / thirteen minutes,
/ D / G
He would / set us at the terminal / gate.
G /
Swing low chariot, / come down easy,

Cut your engines and / cool your wings, and
/ D / G
Let me / make it to the tele - / phone.
G /
Los Angeles, give me / Norfolk Virginia,

Tide - / water four ten o / nine,
D / /
Tell all the / folks back home, this is the / Promised Land callin’, and
