Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
Left my home in Norfolk, Virginia,
California on my mind.
I straddled that Greyhound, rode him into Raleigh,
And on across Caroline.
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
We stopped in Charlotte but bypassed Rock Hill,
And we never was a minute late.
We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown,
Rollin' out of Georgia state.
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
We had motor trouble, it turned into a struggle,
Half way 'cross Alabam,
And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded
In downtown Birmingham.
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
Right away, I bought me a through-train ticket,
Right 'cross Mississippi clean
And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham
Smoking into New Orleans.
Verse 5→ Phiên khúc
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana
Just to help me get to Houston Town
There are people there who care a little about me
And they won't let the poor boy down
Verse 6→ Phiên khúc
Sure as you're born they bought me a silk suit
Put luggage in my hand
And I woke up high over Alburquerque
On a jet to the promised land
Verse 7→ Phiên khúc
Working on a T-bone steak a la carte
Flying over to the Golden State
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes
He would set us at the terminal gate
Verse 8→ Phiên khúc
Swing low chariot come down easy
Taxi to the terminal zone
Cut your engines and cool your wings
And let me make it to the telephone
Verse 9→ Phiên khúc
Los Angeles, give me No'folk, V'ginia
Tidewater four ten o nine
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling
And the poor boy is on the line
