George Gershwin - It Take a Long Pull to Get There lyrics

Oh, I`m a-goin' out to the Blackfish banks
No matter what the wedder say
And when I say I`m goin' I means goin'
And I`m leaving at the break o' day
It take a long pull to get there, huh!
It take a long pull to get there, huh!
It take a long pull to get there
But I`ll anchor in the Promised land
In the Promised land

And lawdy, if I meet Mister Hurricane
And Hurricane tell me no
I`ll take old Mister Hurricane by the pants
And I`ll throw him in the jailhouse do'
It take a long pull to get there, huh!
It take a long pull to get there, huh!
It take a long pull to get there
But I`ll anchor in the Promised land
In the Promised land

I got a blister on my sittin' down place
I got a blister in my hand
But I`m gonna row this little boat
Trust me Gawd
Till I anchor in the Promised land
It take a long pull to get there, huh!
It take a long pull to get there, huh!
It take a long pull to get there
But I`ll anchor in the Promised land
In the Promised land
