I Been To Georgia On A Fast Train (Live)

On a rainy, windy morning, on the day that I was born In the old sharecroppers one country shack They say my mammy left me, the day before she had me Said she hit the road and never once looked back And I just like to 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 I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey I wasn't born no yesterday I got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education And 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 all I love your wiggle and your walkin', and your big city talkin' And your brand new shiny Plymouth rag-top car Well it's hurry up and wait, in this land of give and take It seems like haste makes for waste every time And I declare to my soul, when I hear them ages roll You better know I'm gonna get my share of mine I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey I wasn't born no yesterday I got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education And ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey I wasn't born no yesterday I got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education And ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way And ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way
