Eyes Of Man

many a man has built his own templeShown to

Little Queenie

Sweet Little Sixteen [Live at the BBC Disk 2]

really rocking in BostonPhiladelphia, PADeep in the heart of

Roll Away

well, look-a here what a good day we got todayWhy

Vaya con Dios

the hacienda's dark, the town is sleepingNow the time

I’m Talking About You

Let It Rock (Live, 1980)

In the heat of the day, down in Mobile, AlabamaWorkin' on

Sue Answer

I don't get a letter from Sue tomorrowI'm a catch

It’s Too Dark in There

went to pick this little girl up I met last

Jamaica Farewell Song

Broken Arrow

Chief warriors on a mountain side(I'll never do that

The complete song text appears below.


[Verse 1]
I left my home in Norfolk, Virginia
California on my mind
I straddled that Greyhound and rode him into Raleigh
And on across Caroline
We had motor trouble, it turned into a struggle
Halfway across Alabam'
And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded
In downtown Birmingham

[Verse 2]
Right away, I bought me a through train ticket
Riding across Mississippi clean
And I was on that midnight flier 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 about me
And they won't let the poor boy down

[Verse 3]
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
Working on a T-bone steak a la carte
Flying over to the Golden State
Oh, when the pilot told me us in thirteen minutes
He would set us at the terminal gate
Swing low sweet chariot, come down easy
Taxi to the terminal zone
Cut your engines and 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 calling
And the poor boy's on the line
[Verse 4]
Swing low sweet chariot, come down easy
Taxi to the terminal zone
Cut your engines and 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 calling
And the poor boy's on the line
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling
And the poor boy's on the line
