Waylon Jennings - Cedartown, Georgia lyrics

Album: Cedartown, Georgia <RCA Victor> (1971)

(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 & took her down to New Orleans.

Got a little house in the South French Quarter
Got a job tookin´ bales load them on steamboat
I give the seven days pay next day unbroke
When she aint a sleepin´ all day she has 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.

As she walked right by me
And she looked right through me.

I made up my mind what I am a going to do
Eased in the pawnshop & bought a 22.
I watched as the roomclerk gave them a room key
A standin´ right outside I could read Room 23.

Tonight I will put her on a train for Georgia
Going to be a lotta kin folks squallin´ & a grieving
´Cause that Cedartown gal aint breathing...
