Georgia On A Fast Train

On a rainy, windy morning that's the day that I was born on In that old sharecroppers one room country shack They say my mammy left me same day that she had me Said, she hit the road and never once looked back And now I just thought I'd mention my Grandma's old age pension Is the reason why I'm standing here today I got all my country learning, millin' and a churning Pickin' cotton, rasin' hell, and bailin' hay I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey I wudn't born no yesterday Got a good Christian raisin' and eighth grade education Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way And now sweet Caroline, I don't guess I'll ever find Another woman put together like you all I love your wiggle in your walkin' and your big city talkin' Your brand new shiny Plymouth rag-top car Hey, let's hurry up and wait in this world of give and take Seem like a haystack made for waste every time And I pray to my soul when you hear those ages roll You better know I'm gonna get my share of mine And now, I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey I wudn't born no yesterday Got a good Christian raisin' and eighth grade education I ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way Ah, throw down, Eddie I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey I wudn't born no yesterday Got a good Christian raisin' and eighth grade education Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way
