[Chorus 1][x2]
The things that I used to do
Lord, I won't do no more
[Verse 1]
I used to sit and
Hold your hand, baby
Cry and beg you not to go
I was born in Georgia, baby
Lord, I was raised in Tennessee
I was born in Augusta, Georgia, baby
Lord, I was raised in Tennessee
No matter how hard I tried
Somebody always hurting on me
[Chorus 2]
I'm going to send you
Back to your mother and
I'm going back to my family too
[Chorus 2]
I'm going to send you
Back to your mother, baby
Lord, and I'm going back to my folks
My old, my old folks back home too
[Verse 2]
Because nothing I can
Do to please you, mama
Lord, I just can't get along with you
[Outro]
Ow, ow, ow
You're so mean to me now
