Lyrics
GONNA GO BACK HOME TO GEORGIA
By: Frank McNulty
(All 3 Verses, ad lib tempo)
VERSE 1
I?ve tasted life in every port; I?ve roamed the seven Seas!
I?ve traveled to those distant lands and ?lived it,? if you please!
But now my days are numbered, son, it?s home I wanna be!
No other place but Georgia, son! - -
It?s Georgia Just for me!
CHORUS 1: Good beat!
I?m gonna go back home to Georgia,
I?m gonna go back home to stay:
I?m gonna plant my feet in Georgia,
I?m gonna chase those blues away!
I?m gonna pack my bag tomorrow,
And I?ll be leavin? on the midnight train:
I?m gonna go back home to Georgia,
I?m gonna leave before I go insane!
I?m gonna leave my worries behind me,
I?m gonna settle down to stay:
I?m gonna pack my grip for Georgia,
?m gonna lose those blues today!
No more to run! - - To roam and wander!
No more to fight that steamy crowd:
No other place for me but Georgia!
And you can bet I?ll be mighty proud!
VERSE 2
I?ve had my share of winnin? son;
I?ve played with loaded dice!
And, oh! Those shady women, son!
I?ve been there once or twice;
But now those days are over, son, it?s home I wanna be,
No other place but Georgia, son, its Georgia just for me.
CHORUS 2
i?m gonna go back home to Georgia,
It?s in Georgia, where I belong:
I?m gonna stake my claim in Georgia!
Because in Georgia, ya can?t go wrong!
I?m gonna see my sweet, sweet mama,
I?m gonna see my dear old Dad:
And all my friends will come together
Just to greet this roamin? lad!
I?m gonna go back home to Georgia,
I?m gonna rest my body down;
I?m gonna taste that country livin'
And in Georgia, I?ll be found!
Yes sir, my troubled days are over,
I?m goin? home! No more to stray!
No other place for me but Georgia,
In Georgia, there I?ll stay.
VERSE 3
I?ve lived a life of evil, son;
The devil bought my soul!
And then I got religion, son;
And I was on a roll:
\And then I got to thinkin?, son!
My roamin? days is done!
I?ll lay my weary body down in my Georgia town.
CHORUS 3
i?m gonna go back home to Georgia, Georgia,
Yeah, Georgia, I?m headin? down:
I?m headin? home for dear old Georgia,Georgia,
Because I miss my Georgia town.
And when my golden days are over,
Well, you dig my grave for me,
Out in a shady spot in Georgia, Georgia,
And in Georgia, there?ll Ill be.
I?m gonna go back home to Georgia,
I?m gonna rest my body down;
I?m gonna taste that country livin?
And in Georgia, I?ll be found!
Yes sir, my troubled days are over,
I?m goin? home no more to stray!
No other place for me but Georgia, Georgia,
In Georgia, there I?ll stay.
I?m gonna go back home to Georgia, Georgia,
And I?ll be leavin? on the midnight train:
No other place for me but Georgia, Georgia,
I?m gonna lose that ball an? chain!
Yes sir, my troubled days are over,
I?m gonna leave this town today!
No other place for me but Georgia, Georgia,
In Georgia, there I?ll stay!
No other place for me but Georgia, Georgia,
And in Georgia, there I?ll Stay!
Yes sir, my troubled days are over,
I?m gonna leave this town today!
No other place for me but Georgia, Georgia,
In Georgia, there I?ll stay!
