[A] [E] Yodel-ee-lodel-ay-oh, [B] yodel-ay [E]-ay-lay-ee-hee-hee -hee
On a rainy Wednesday [Em] morning, that's the day that I [A] was born in
In [E] that old sharecropper's one-room [B] country shack
[Em] They say my [E] mama left me the day before [A] she had me
[E] She hit the [B] road and never [Em] once looked back
Well, now I just thought I'd mention [A] that my grandma's old age pension
[E] Is the reason why I'm standing [B] here today
I [E] got all my country learning, [Em]
milking [A] and a-churning
[E] Picking cotton, [B] raising hill and [E] baling hay
[Em] I've been to Georgia on a fast [A] train, honey
[E] I wasn't born, though, [B] yesterday
I [E] got a good Christian raising [A] and an eighth-grade education
[E] Ain't no need in [B] y'all treating [E] me this way
Oh, my sweet Carolina, I don't guess [Am] I'll ever find
[E] Another woman put together like you are
[B] I [E] love the wiggle in your walking [A] and your big city talking
[E] And your brand-new shiny Plymouth red-top car
[Em] Well, let's hurry up and wait [A] in this world of give and take
[E] Seems like haste makes for waste [B] every time
But I [E] declare to my soul, [A] when you hear those ages roll
You better know I'm [B] gonna get my [Em] share of mine
I've been to Georgia on a fast [A] train, honey
[E] I wasn't born, though, [B] yesterday
I [E] got a good Christian raising [A] and an eighth-grade education
[Em] Ain't no need in [B] y'all treating me [E] this way
