I'm in a new [A] home.
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana.
Just help me get to [D] Houston town.
[E] There are people there who care a little about me.
And I won't have to pull [A] more down.
Maybe.

Should you have borne and bought me a silk suit
and put luggage in [D] my hand.
[E] Then I'd walk up high over Howard,
McCurkey on a jet to the [A] promised land.
Or work at the T-bone steak
or a cart and fly over to the [D] gold state.
[E] The pop told us in thirteen minutes
he would send us to the [A] terminal gate.
Swing low, chariot, come down easy,
pass it to the [D] terminal door.
[E] Cut your hinges and cool your wings
and let me make it to the [A] telephone.
What the hell?
You made no afford what you designed,
one of four, [D] ten, oh nine.
[E] Telephone's back home, we'll see the promised land
and cross ten little boys [A] on the line.
