Georgia On A Fast TrainBy: Billy Joe Shaver
A D
On a rainy, windy mornin, that's the day that I was born on
A E
In an old sharecroppers one room country shack
A D
They say my mammy left me, the same day that she had me
A E A
Said she hit the road and never once looked back A D
And I just thought I'd mention, my Grandma's old age pension
A E
Is the reason why I'm standin here today
A D
I got all my country learnin, livin and a churnin
A E A
Pickin cotton raisin hell and bailin hay Chorus:
A D
I've been to Georgia on a fast train honey
A E
I wasn't born no yesterday
A D
Got a good Christian raisin and an eight grade education
A E A
Ain't no need in y'all a treatin me this way
A D
And now sweet Caroline, I don't guess I'll ever find
A E
Another woman put together like you are
A D
With your wiggle and your walk in and your big city talkin
A D A
Your brand new shiny Plymouth rag-top car
A D
Yeah it's hurry up and wait, in this world of give and take
A E
Seems like haste, it makes for waste every time
A D
And I pray to my soul, when you hear those ages roll
A E A
You better know I'm gonna get my share of mine
Chorus Twice Then
A E A
Ain't no need in y'all a treatin me this way
