It was a rainy Wednesday morning That's the day that I was born in That old sharecroppers one room country shack They say my mama left me the day before she had me They say she hit the road and never once looked back Well I'd just like to mention My old grandma's pension Is the reason that I'm standing here today I got all my country learning, milking and a churning, Picking cotton, raising hell and baling hay CHORUS I've been to Georgia on a fast train honey I was'nt born no yesterday I got a good Christian raising I got an eighth grade education Ain't no need of ya all treating me this way Well sweet Carolina I don't guess I'll ever find Another woman put together like you are Well with your wiggle and your walkin' And your fancy city talking And your brand new shiny Plymouth ragtop car Well it's hurry up and wait In the world of give and take It seems like haste makes for waste every time I do declare to my soul When you see aces roll You know I'm going to get my share of mine REPEAT CHORUS 3 TIMES
