Georgia on a Fast Train Songtext
von Johnny Cash

On a rainy, wednesday morning that′s the day that I was born in
In that old sharecroppers one room country shack
They say my mamma left me, the day before she had me
She hit the road and never once looked back

Well,now I just thought I'd mention
That 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 wouldn′t born no yesterday
I got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education
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 are
I love the wiggle in your walkin′, and your big city talkin′
And your brand new shiny Plymouth rag-top car

Well,let's hurry up and wait, in this world of give and take
Seems like haste makes the waste every time
But I declare to my soul, when you hear those ages roll
You better know I′m gonna get my share of mine

I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey
I wouldn′t born no yesterday
I got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education
Ain′t no need in y'all a treatin' me this way

I′ve been to Georgia on a fast train, honey
I wouldn′t born no yesterday
I got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education
Ain′t no need in y'all a treatin′ me this way
