Gershwin: Porgy And Bess, Act 2 Scene 1: "It Take A Long Pull To Get There" (Jake)

It takes a long pull to get there
It takes a long pull to get there
It takes a long pull to get there, but
I'll anchor in the Promised Land
In the Promised Land

Now 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 takes a long pull to get there
It takes a long pull to get there
It takes a long pull to get there, but
I'll anchor in the Promised Land
In the Promised Land

And Lord, if I meet a-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 takes a long pull to get there
It takes a long pull to get there
It takes a long pull to get there, but
I'll anchor in the Promised Land
In the Promised Land
