1
I left my home
2
In
3
Norfolk Virginia
4
California
5
On my mind
6
Straddled
7
That Greyhound
8
Rode him
9
Past Raleigh
10
On across
11
Caroline
12
Stopped
13
In Charlotte
14
And bypassed
15
Rock Hill
16
And we never
17
Was a minute late
18
We was
19
Ninety miles
20
Out of Atlanta
21
By sundown
22
Rollin' 'cross
23
The Georgia state
24
We had motor
25
Trouble it
26
Turned into
27
A struggle
28
Half way
29
Cross Alabama
30
And that 'hound
31
Broke down
32
And left us
33
All stranded
34
In downtown
35
Birmingham
36
Straight off
37
I bought me
38
A through
39
Train ticket
40
Ridin' cross
41
Mississippi
42
Clean
43
And I was on
44
That midnight
45
Flyer out
46
Of Birmingham
47
Smoking into
48
New Orleans
49
Somebody
50
Help me get
51
Out of Louisiana
52
Just help me get
53
To Houston town
54
There's
55
People there
56
Who care
57
A little 'bout me
58
And they won't let
59
The poor boy down
60
Sure
61
As you're born
62
They bought me
63
A silk suit
64
Put luggage
65
In my hands
66
And I woke up high
67
Over Albuquerque
68
On a jet
69
To the promised land
70
Workin' on a T-bone
71
Steak a la carte
72
Flying over
73
To the Golden State
74
The pilot told me
75
In thirteen minutes
76
We'd be headin'
77
In the terminal gate
78
Swing low
79
Sweet chariot
80
Come down easy
81
Taxi
82
To the terminal zone
83
Cut your engines
84
Cool your wings
85
And let me make it
86
To the telephone
87
Los Angeles
88
Give me
89
Norfolk Virginia
90
Tidewater
91
Four ten O nine
92
Tell the folks
93
Back home
94
This is
95
The promised land
96
Callin'
97
And the poor boy's
98
On the line
