Lyrics
Well, on that cold and frosty morning
On the day that I was born
In that one-room sharecropper's shack
They said my mama left me the day before she had me
Hit the road and never once looked back
And I'd like to mention
How my grandma's old-age pension
Is the reason that I'm standing here today
And I got all my country learning
A-milking and a-churning
Picking cotton, raising cane, and baling hay
And I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey
And I wasn't born no yesterday
I got a good Christian raising
And an eighth-grade education
There ain't no need in y'all to be a-treating me this way
Well, sweet Carolina
I don't guess I'll ever find
Another woman put together quite like you are
I like the wiggle in your walking
Your sweet country talking
And your brand new shiny Plymouth rag-top car
Well, hurry up and wait
In this world of give and take
Seems like haste makes for waste most every time
But I declare to my soul
When I hear those ages roll
You better know that I'm gonna get my share of mine
Because I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey
And I wasn't born no yesterday
I got a good Christian raising
And an eighth-grade education
There ain't no need in y'all to be a-treating me this way
