Waylon Jennings - Cedartown, Georgia Lyrics

Lyrics Cedartown, Georgia - Waylon Jennings



(Mack Vickery - Sammi Smith - Charlie Cobble)
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...
