And if your sorrow has been your share
But if you're goin' south darlin' I guess I'm travelin with you
Well I'm long gone darlin', lonesome blue
New York, New York is a friend of the traveling kind

If you are traveling back to Georgia
I been killed by love till it takes me to the end of the line
And if you feel my love won't leave you

Won't you take me with you there
And if your sorrow has been your share
I can see that now as I'm walkin' and talkin' with you
Won't you take me with you there
I was half a mile from Canada waitin' on a train
And if you feel my love won't leave you

Well, I been blinded by the sun, washed in the rain
I been thinking of leavin', I been thinkin' of you
But that big city singin', man, I like the way that it shines
If you are traveling back to Georgia
Won't you take me with you there

And if you feel my love won't leave you

Oh won't you take me home
Won't you take me with you there
He's a fool who'll drown in his fountain of youth

If you are traveling back to Georgia

And if your sorrow has been your share

Once stilled by love he was bound to roll on by
Take me with you
Wonderin' and wishin' I could disappear again
If you are traveling back to Georgia
And if you feel my love won't leave you

Scattered in America, I'm scatterin' again
And if your sorrow has been your share
And I'm coming around from years of hard times
Well, I've been troubled by a love untrue
He's chased me down through the towns and the miles
