The Promised Land Lyrics - Moondog Matinee - Band

I left my home in Norfolk Virginia 

California on my mind 

I boarded that Greyhound 

Rode in into Raliegh on across Caroline 

Stopped in Charlotte to by pass Rockhill 

We never was a minute late 

We were ninty miles out of Atlanta by sundown 

Rollin' out of Georgia state 

We had motor trouble that turned into a struggle 

Halfway across Alabam 

And that bow broke down 

And left us stranded in downtown Birmingham 

Right away I bought a through train ticket 

Got across Mississippi clean 

And I was on that Midnight Flyer out of Birmingham 

Smokin' into New Orleans

Somebody help me get out of Louisiana 

Help me get to Houston Town 

There are people there who care a little 'bout me 

And won't put the poor boy down 

Georgia born, they bought me a silk suit 

And put luggage in my hand 

And woke up high over Albuquerque 

On a jet to the promised land 

Workin' on a T-bone ala cartee 

Flyin' over to the Golden State 

When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes 

He would set us at the terminal gate 

Swing low chariot, come down easy 

Taxi to the terminal door 

Cut your engines and cool your wings 

And let me make it to the telephone 

Photos 

Los Angeles, give me Norfolk Virginia 

Tidewater four ten o nine 

Tell all the folks back home 

It's the promised land callin' 

And the poor boy is on the line
