G C
On a rainy, Wednesday mornin' that's the day that I was born in
G D7
In the old sharecroppers one room country shack
G C
They say my mammy left me, same day that she had me
G D7 G
Said she hit the road and never once looked back
Verse 2:
C
And I just thought I'd mention, my Grandma's old age pension
G D7
Is the reason why I'm standing here today
G C
I got all my country learning, milkin' and a churnin'
G D7 G
Pickin' cotton, rasin' hell, and bailin' hay
Chorus:
C
I've been to Georgia on a fast train honey
G
I wudn't born no yestday
G C
Got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education
G D7 G
Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way
Verse 3:
C
And now sweet Caroline, I don't guess I'll ever find
G D7
Another woman put together like you all
G C
With your wiggle and your walkin', and your big city talkin'
G D7 G
Your brand new shiny Plymouth rag-top car
Verse 4:
C
Yeah it's hurry up and wait, in this world of give and take
G D7
Seems like haste makes for waste every time
G C
And I pray to my soul, when you hear those ages roll
G D7 G
You better know I'm gonna get my share of mine
Chorus.(x2)
D7 G
Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way
