Waylon Jennings - Cedartown, Georgia lyrics

I got a gal in Cedartown Georgia I used to have to walk nearly three miles to court her She never had much, just a sharecropper's daughter But I married her and took her down to New Orleans. Bought a little house in the South French Quarter Got a job hookin' bales, loadin' them on a steamboat I give her seven days pay next day I'm broke When she ain't a sleepin' all day she's a primpin'. Every evenin' when the sun goes down She starts a swarmin' on Orleans town Walkin' into work this mornin' at daybreak I caught her with the tall long dandy from canebreak. She walked right by me and she looked right through me. I made up my mind what I'm a gonna do Eased in the pawnshop and bought a 22. Watched as the roomclerk gave them a room key Standin' outside I could read Room 23. Tonight I'll put her on a train for Georgia Gonna be a lotta kin folks squallin' and a grieving 'Cause that Cedartown gal ain't breathing...
