Georgia Blues (07-08-29)

I feel bad, I feel sad
But it won’t be very long
Before I’ll be feeling glad
I just sigh, I could die
I have got Georgia blues
And I’m just too mean to cry;
I don’t live in Boston
I wasn’t born in Maine
If I don’t go to Georgia
I will surely go insane
I’ve got the Georgia blues
'Cause I’ve got bad news
I’m gonna catch a train
And I ain’t gonna stop until I’m home
Home again
I’m not satisfied
Just must take a ride
Gee, but I’ll be happy
With my baby by my side
Hear that whistle blow
Now it’s time to go
'Cause the train is waiting
Got no time to lose
A certain party that I know
Offered me a ticket to Chicago
But he can have it, I don’t want it
'Cause I got the Georgia blues
I’ve got those Georgia blues
'Cause I got bad news
I’m gonna catch a train
And I ain’t gonna stop until I’m home, home
Home again
I’m not satisfied
Just must take a ride
Gee, but I’ll be happy
With my sweet daddy by my side
Hear that whistle blow
Now it’s time to go
My train is waiting
Got no time to lose
A party wanted to marry me, way last spring
Even bought me a brand new diamond ring
But he can have it, I don’t want it
'Cause I got the Georgia blues
