Packing my duffle : going to leave this town

And I'm going to hustle : to catch that train southbound



I got the Georgia blues : for the plow and the hoe

Walked out of my shoes : over this ice and snow



Tune up the fiddle : dust the cat and bow

Put on the griddle : and open the cabin door



I thought I was going : to the northland to stay

South is on my mind : my blues won't go away



Potatoes in the ashes : possum on the stove

You can have the hash : but please leave me the claw



Chicken on the roof : and melons on the vine

I'll be glad : to get back to that Georgia gal of mine
