Oh, I'm a-goin' out to the Blackfish Banks
No matter what the weather say
And when I say I'm goin', I means goin'
And I'm leavin' at the break of 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 tickle 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, God
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
