[Verse]
AOn a rainy, windy morning that's the dDay that I was born on
In the oAld sharecroppers one room country shEack
They sAay my mammy left me, saDme day that she had me
Said she hAit the road and neDver once looked bAack
AAnd I just thought I'd mention, my GraDndma's old age pension
Is the reaAson why I'm standing here todEay
I got aAll my country learning, livDing and a churning
Pickin' coAtton, rasin' hEell, and bailin' hAay
[Chorus]
IA've been to Georgia on a fDast train honey
AI wudn't born no yesteErday
Got a goAod Christian raisin' and an eiDghth grade education
Ain't no neAed in y'all a treEatin' me this wAay
[Verse]
AAnd now sweet Caroline, I don't guDess I'll ever find
Another woAman put together like you aEll
With your wiAggle and your walkin', and your bDig city talkin'
Your brAand new shiny PlymEouth rag-top cAar
YeAah it's hurry up and wait, in this woDrld of give and take
Seems like haAste makes for waste every tiEme
And I prAay to my soul, when you hDear those ages roll
You betAter know I'm gonna gEet my share of miAne
[Chorus]
IA've been to Georgia on a fDast train honey
AI wudn't born no yesteErday
Got a goAod Christian raisin' and an eiDghth grade education
Ain't no neAed in y'all a treEatin' me this wAay
