[A]
I left my home in North Fork, Virginia, California [D] on the mine
[E] Straddled that Greyhound and rode him in the Raleigh and on across [A] Carolina
I had a load of trouble, it turned into a struggle halfway across [D] Alabama
[E] And that hound pulled down and left us all stranded in downtown [A] Birmingham
Right away I bought me a food train ticket right across [D] Mississippi Clean
[E] I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham smoking in the [A] New Orleans
Somebody helped me get out of Louisiana, just helped me get to [D] Houston town
[E] There's an uncle there who cares a little about me and he won't have to [A] go on down
[D] [E]
[A] He shows you a board, he bought me a silk suit and put the luggage [D] in my hand
[E] I woke up high over Albuquerque on a jet to the [A] front of the land
Working on a T-boat, take on the cart and flyin' over to the [D] Gold State
[E] The pilot told us in thirteen minutes he would set us at the [A] terminal gate
Swing low, chariot, come down easy, taxi to the [D] terminal door
[E] Put your hinges and cool your wings and let me make it to the [A] telephone
Los Angeles, give me North Fork, Virginia town, what a fortune, [D] oh now
[E] Tell the folks back home this is the promised land, calling that nipple boys [A] on the line
