Georgia On A Fast Train

On a rainy, wednesday morning that's the day that I was born in

In that old sharecroppers one room country shack

They say my mamma left me, the day before she had me

She hit the road and never once looked back

Well,now I just thought I'd mention

That my grandma's old age pension

Is the reason why I'm standing here today

I got all my country learning

Milking and a churning

Pickin' cotton, rasin' hell and bailin' hay

I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey

I wouldn't born no yesterday

I got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education

Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way

Oh, my sweet Caroline, I don't guess I'll ever find

Another woman put together like you are

I love the wiggle in your walkin', and your big city talkin'

And your brand new shiny Plymouth rag-top car

Well,let's hurry up and wait, in this world of give and take

Seems like haste makes the waste every time

But I declare to my soul, when you hear those ages roll

You better know I'm gonna get my share of mine

I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey

I wouldn't born no yesterday

I got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education

Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way

I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey

I wouldn't born no yesterday

I got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education

Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way
