Cedartown, Georgia

Cedartown, Georgia - Waylon Jennings (維隆·傑寧斯)

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

She got a little house in the South French Quarter

Got a job tookin' bales load them on steamboat

I give a 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 Canebrake

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

I watched as the room clerk gave them a room key

A standin' right 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
