letra de promised land - dale hawkins
i left my home in norfolk virginia
california on my mind
caught a bus and rode past raleigh
on across caroline
we had motor trouble, it turned into a struggle
half way cross alabam
and that hound broke down and left us all stranded
in downtown birmingham
straight off, i bought me a through-train ticket
halfway cross alabam
i didn’t go and i rode that sucker
all the way down yonder land
somebody help me get out of mississippi
just help me get to houston town
there’s people there who care a little ’bout me
and they won’t let the poor boy down
sure as i’m born, they bought me a silk suit
put money in my hands
and i woke up high over albuquerque
on a jet to the promised land
right away had me t-bone steak a la carte so lean
flying over to the golden state
the pilot told me it won’t be long
wed be headin’ in the terminal gate
i know what i’m gonna do soon as i leave this plane
headed for the telephone call back home and this is what i’m sayin’:
“operator, won’t you please dial tidewater four ten oh nine
this is the poor boy callin’ from the promised land”
