Georgia on a Fast Train

Performed by BR549 on Big Backyard Beat Show

written by Billy Joe Shaver

Verse 1:

(G)On a rainy, windy morning that's the (C) day that i was born on

In the old (G) sharecroppers one country (D7) shack

(G) They say my mammy left me, (C) same day that she had me

Said she (G) hit the road and (D7 )never once looked back (G)

Verse 2:

And 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, milking and a churning

Pickin' cotton, rasin' hell, and bailin' hay

Chorus:

(G)I've been to Georgia on a (C) fast train honey

(G) I wudn't born no yesterday (D7)

(G) Got a good Christian raisin' and an (C) eighth grade education

(G) Ain't no need in y'all a (D7) treatin' me this way

Verse 3:

And now sweet Caroline , i guess i'll ever find

Another woman put together like you all

With your wiggle and your walkin',and your big city talkin'

Your brand new shiny Plymouth rag-top car

Verse 4:

Yeah it's hurry up and wait,in this world of give and take

Seems like haste makes 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

Chorus.(x2)

(G)Ain't no need in y'all a (D7) treatin' me this way
