_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ One rainy night in Dalton, _ they were talking in the bar
_ _ About two bodies they'd been [A] searching for _ _ _ _
_ [D] Behind old Sampson's sawmill, the bloodhounds found [Bm] their _ grave _
_ _ [D] They were laying in [A] that red [D] Georgia clay _ _ _ _ _
So I just sat and listened _ and drank my whiskey down
_ I knew I'd never make it out [A] of town _ _
_ But [D] when a big hand grabbed my shoulder, I started shaking in my [Bm] _ boots
_ _ And [D] I knew that [A] time had come to tell [D] the truth
I _ said I followed them one evening _ when the sun was sinking low _
I knew that logging shack was where [A] they'd go
_ But _ [D] when I watched them love together, _ it was more than I [Bm] could take
_ So I left [D] them laying in [A] that red Georgia [D] clay _
_ _ I may be [G] hungry, [D] cold, and lonely, [G] and this old [D] prison cell
And when I die, I guess I'll go [A] to hell _ _ _ _
[D] But at least I know she won't be running around on me [Bm] today _ _ _
_ Cause [D] they were laying in [A] that red [D] Georgia clay _ _ _ _
_ _ Arm in arm together, they both wanted it [Bm] that _ way
So I left [D] them laying in [A] that red Georgia [D]
clay
_ _ Yeah, I left them laying in [A] that red Georgia [D] clay _
