As recorded by Freddy Weller
(1970 single release)
[Intro]
G C G C G C G C G C G C
[Verse 1]
G C
I left my home in Norfolk Virginia California on my mind
D7 G
I strattled that greyhound and rode him into Releigh and on across Caroline
C
Stopped in Charlotte and we by passed Blackhill we never was a minute late
D7 G
We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown rollin' out of Georgia state
C
Had motor trouble that turned into a struggle halfway across Alabama
D7 G
And the hound broke down and left us all stranded in downtown Birmingham
[Steel Guitar Solo]
G#
[Verse 2]
G# C#
Right away I bought me a through train ticket ridin' across Mississippi clean
D#7 G#
And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham smokin' into New Orleans
C#
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana help me get to Houston town
D#7 G#
There's people there who care a little 'bout me and they won't let a poor boy down
C#
Sure as you're born they brought me a silk suit and put luggage in my hand
D#7 G# E
And I woke up high over Albuquerque on a jet to the promised land
[Fiddle Solo]

[Verse 3]
A D
Workin' on a T-bone steak I had a party flyin' over to the golden state
E7 A
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes he would get us at the terminal gate
D
Swing low chariot come down easy taxi to the terminal done
E7 A
Cut your engines and cool your wings and let me make it to the telephone
D
Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia tied Water 4-10-0-9
E7 A
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin' and the poor boy's on the line
[Outro]

Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin' and the poor boy's on the line
