Promised Land Lyrics – Chuck Berry
Singer: Chuck Berry
Title: Promised Land
I left my home in norfolk virginia,
California on my mind.
Straddled that greyhound, rode him past raleigh,
On across caroline.
Stopped in charlotte and bypassed rock hill,
And we never was a minute late.
We was ninety miles out of atlanta by sundown,
Rollin’ ‘cross the georgia state.
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,
Ridin’ cross mississippi clean
And I was on that midnight flyer out of birmingham
Smoking into new orleans.
Somebody help me get out of louisiana
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 you’re born, they bought me a silk suit,
Put luggage in my hands,
And I woke up high over albuquerque
On a jet to the promised land.
Workin’ on a t-bone steak a la carte
Flying over to the golden state;
The pilot told me in thirteen minutes
We’d be headin’ in the terminal gate.
Swing low sweet chariot, come down easy
Taxi to the terminal zone;
Cut your engines, cool your wings,
And let me make it to the telephone.
Los angeles give me norfolk virginia,
Tidewater four ten o nine
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin’
And the poor boy’s on the line

Promised Land – Terjemahan / Translation
Saya meninggalkan rumah saya di Norfolk Virginia,
California di pikiranku.
Mengangkang bahwa Greyhound, mengendarainya melewati Raleigh,
Di seberang Caroline.
Berhenti di Charlotte dan bypass Rock Hill,
Dan kami tidak pernah terlambat satu menit.
Kami berjumlah sembilan puluh mil dari Atlanta dengan matahari terbenam,
Rollin ” Cross the Georgia State.
Kami memiliki masalah motorik itu berubah menjadi perjuangan,
Setengah jalan ‘lintas Alabam,
Dan bahwa ‘Hound mogok dan meninggalkan kita semua terdampar
Di pusat kota Birmingham.
Langsung, saya membelikan saya tiket kereta api,
Ridin ‘Cross Mississippi Clean
Dan saya berada di flyer tengah malam itu dari Birmingham
Merokok ke New Orleans.
Seseorang membantu saya keluar dari Louisiana
Bantu saya sampai ke Houston Town.
Ada orang di sana yang peduli sedikit ‘
Dan mereka tidak akan membiarkan bocah malang itu turun.
Tentu seperti Anda dilahirkan, mereka membelikan saya setelan sutra,
Letakkan bagasi di tanganku,
Dan saya bangun tinggi di atas Albuquerque
Pada jet ke tanah yang dijanjikan.
Bekerja di steak T-Bone a la carte
Terbang ke negara emas;
Pilot memberi tahu saya dalam tiga belas menit
Kami akan menuju ke gerbang terminal.
Ayunan kereta manis rendah, turun mudah
Taksi ke zona terminal;
Potong mesin Anda, keren sayap Anda,
Dan biarkan aku berhasil sampai ke telepon.
Los Angeles memberi saya Norfolk Virginia,
Tidewater empat sepuluh sembilan
Beri tahu orang-orang kembali ke rumah ini adalah panggilan tanah yang dijanjikan ‘
Dan bocah malang itu di telepon
