waylon jennings - cedartown georgia lyrics
(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 p-wnshop 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…
