[A]
I left my home in North Falk, Virginia, California on [D] the mine.
[E] Straddle that greyhound and rode him in a rallying on across [A] Carolina.
I had motor trouble and turned into a struggle halfway across [D] Alabama.
[E] Well, the town broke down and left us all stranded in downtown [A] Birmingham.
Right away I brought me a food train ticket right across [D] Mississippi Clean.
[E] And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham [Em] smoking [A] the New Orleans.
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana, just help me get [D] to Houston town.
[E] There are people there who care a little about me and they won't [A] let the poor boy down.
Clear!
[D] [E]
[Bm] [A]
Chose your boy and bought me a silk suit and put the [D] luggage in my hand.
And [E] I woke up high over Albuquerque on a jet to the promised [A] land.
Working on the T-bone steak on the car that's flying over to the [D] Golden State.
[E] While I sold the set of thirteen minutes, he would set us at a [A] terminal gate.
There's a sweet little chariot come down, easy taxi to the [D] terminal zone.
[E] Cut your hinges and cool your wings and let me make it to [A] the telephone.
Long time, you made North Falk, Virginia, tired of water [D] for ten whole nights.
[E] Tell the folks back home this is the promised land, call it and the poor boy is [A] on the line.
Play it again!
