Yodel -ee, yodel -ay, yodel -ay,
On a rainy Wednesday morning,
that's the day that I was born in
In that old sharecropper's
They say my mama left me the
She hit the road and never
Well now I just thought I'd mention
that my grandma's old age pension
is the reason why I'm standing here today
I got all my country learnin',
raisin' hell and bailin' hay
I've been to Georgia on a fast train
honey, I wasn't born no yesterday
I got a good Christian raisin'
and an eighth -grade education
I don't guess I'll ever find
Another woman put together like you are
I love the wiggle in your walkin'
and your big city talkin'
And your brand -new shiny
Well, let's hurry up and wait
in this world of givin' take
But I declare to my soul,
when you hear those ages roll
You better know I'm gonna
I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey
I wasn't born no yesterday
I got a good Christian raising
and an eighth grade education
Ain't no need in y 'all treating me
I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey
I wasn't born, no, yesterday
I got a good Christian raisin'
And an eighth -grade education
Yo -de -de -de -de -de -de -de -de -de
