[A]
I left my home in Norfolk, Virginia, California, home [D] of mine.
[E] Straddled that three-hundred road in Minerali and on across [A] Carolina.
Had more trouble to turn than to a struggle halfway across [D] Alabama.
[E] Well, the town bowed down and left us all stranded in downtown [A] Birmingham.
Well, right away a four-man food train ticket right across the [D] Pacific Clean.
I [E] was on that midnight wire out of Birmingham smoking [A] in a New Orleans.
Somebody helped me get out of Louisiana, just helped me get to [D] Houston town.
[E] There are people there who care a little about me and have allowed to pull [A] more down.
Maybe,
[D] [E]
[A]
should you have borne to bought me a silk suit and put luggage in [D] my hand.
[E] And I woke up high over Albuquerque on a jet through the [A] promised land.
Working on a steep old stake, a harlequin flying over to the [D] gold estate.
[E] A pop told us in thirteen minutes he would set us at the [A] terminal gate.
Swing low, chariot, come down easy, pass you to [D] the terminal door.
[E] Cut your hinges and cool your wings and let me make it to [A] the telephone.
North to Alabama, to Mid-North, Fort Virginia, 9-1-4, 10 [D]-0-9.
[E] The telephone's back on, this is the promised land for all the ten-and-a-four boys on [A] the line.
