Georgia on a Fast Train
[Verse]
G C
On a rainy Wednesday morning, that's the day that I was born
G D
in that old sharecroppers one room country shack
G C
They say my mammy left me, same day before she had me
G D G
Said she hit the road and never once looked back
G C
And now, I just thought I'd mention, my Grandma's old age pension
G D
is the reason why I'm standing here today
G C
I got all my country learning, milkin' and a churnin'
G D G
Pickin' cotton, rasin' hell, and bailin' hay
[Chorus]
G C
I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey
G D
I wasn’t born no yesterday
G C
Got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education
G D G
Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way
[Verse]
G C
And now sweet Caroline, I don't guess I'll ever find
G D
Another woman put together like you are
G C
With your wiggle and your walkin', and your big city talkin'
G D G
Your brand new shiny Plymouth rag-top car
G C
Yeah it's hurry up and wait, in this world of give and take
G D
Seems like haste makes for waste every time
G C
And I declare to my soul, when you hear those ages roll
G D G
You better know I'm gonna get my share of mine
[Chorus]
G C
And I've been to Georgia on a fast train honey
G D
I wasn’t born no yesterday
G C
Got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education
G D G
Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way
