I wouldn't born no yesterday
Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way
I wouldn't born no yesterday
It seems like haste it makes me waste every time
I wouldn't born no yesterday
I'll ever find another woman put together like you are
Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way
Said she hit the road and never once looked back
They said my mommie left me the day before she had me
I been to Georgia on a fast train honey
I got a good Christian raisin' and an eight grade education
I got a good Christian raisin' and an eight grade education
Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way
I got a good Christian raisin' and an eight grade education
And now sweet Carolina, I don't guess
Is the reason why I'm standing here today
I been to Georgia on a fast train honey
And I just like to mention that my grandma's old age pension
I got all my country learning and a milking and a churning
With your wiggle and you're walking and your big city talking
And your brand new shiny Plymouth rag top car
I declare to my soul when you hear those ages roll
Hey, let's hurry up and wait in this world of give and take
You better know I get my share of mine
I been to Georgia on a fast train honey
Picking cotton raisin' hell and baling hay
