[E] I'm a man [A] in New Orleans.
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'm gonna let the poor [A] boy down.

Sure as you were born, they bought me a silk suit
and put luggage in my [D] hand.
[E] And I woke up high over Albuquerque
on a jet to the [A] promised land.
For workin' on a T-boat, they called a cart
and flied over to the [D] Golden State.
[E] And a pilot told us in 13 minutes
he would set us at the [A] terminal gate.
Sweet little old 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.
Locked I look, give me northward, Virginia side,
one [D] aboard, ten o' nine.
[E] There are the folks back home, this is the promised land,
cause ten of the poor boys on [A] the line.
