George Gershwin — It Take a Long Pull to Get There

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
