[verse 1]
things were gettin’ mighty rough in oklahoma
and i liked to starve to death in tennessee
someone said there’s lotsa work way down in georgia
i thought i’d take me down and see

[verse 2]
well, i musta been the poorest man in georgia
and the taste of food was just a memory
standin’ in the rain a-lookin’ through this window
and i swear this is what i see

[verse 3]
well, this b-m worse than me was a-takin’ money
and the guy that run the place was on the floor
well i knew the thing to do was to take off runnin’
but i just can’t run no more

[instrumental break]

[verse 4]
well, if you think they came and got me, well, you guessed it
locked me up, that’s just exactly what they did
and that b-m that k!lled the man took the money
well, i guess he went and hid

[verse 5]
well, they finally made their mind i didn’t do it
after 20 years of sittin’ in a cell
now, if anybody ever mentions georgia
i’ma gonna say i’d rather go to-

[verse 6]
well, they say there’s lotsa work in louisiana
so i think i’ll take me down there and see
but if they’ve got a chain gang in new orleans
that’s the last you’ll ever see of me
