      E                                   A
On a rainy Wednesday morning, that's the day that I was born
        E                                    B
in that old sharecroppers one room country shack
      E                          A
They say my mummy left me, same day that she had me
          E                B                 E
Said she hit the road and never once looked back

And I just thought I'd mention, my grandma's old age pension
Is the reason why I'm standing here today
I got all my country learning, living and a churning
Picking cotton, raising hell, and bailing hay

Chorus:
E                          A
I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey
E                       B
I wasn’t born no yesterday
       E                            A
Got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education
          E                B               E
Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way

And now sweet Caroline, I don't guess I'll ever find
Another woman put together like you all
With your wiggle and your walking, and your big city talking
Your brand new shiny Plymouth rag-top car

Yeah it's hurry up and wait, in this world of give and take
Seems like haste makes for waste every time
And I pray to my soul, when you hear those ages roll
You better know I'm going to get my share of mine

Chorus
