Lyrics

Georgia Blues

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I feel bad,

I feel sad,

But it won't be very long

Before I'll be feeling glad,

I just sigh,

I could die;

I have got Georgia blues,

And I'm just too mean to cry;

I don't live in Boston;

I wasn't born in Maine;

If I don't go to Georgia,

I will surely go insane.

I've got the Georgia blues,

'Cause I've got bad news;

I'm gonna catch a train,

And I ain't gonna stop until I'm home,

Home again;

I'm not satisfied,

Just must take a ride;

Gee, but I'll be happy

With my baby by my side;

Hear that whistle blow,

Now it's time to go,

'Cause the train is waiting,

Got no time to lose,

A certain party that I know

Offered me a ticket to Chicago.

But he can have it, I don't want it,

'Cause I got the Georgia blues.

I've got those Georgia blues,

'Cause I got bad news

I'm gonna catch a train,

And I ain't gonna stop until I'm home, home,

Home again;

I'm not satisfied,

Just must take a ride;

Gee, but I'll be happy

With my sweet daddy by my side;

Hear that whistle blow,

Now it's time to go,

My train is waiting

Got no time to lose,

A party wanted to marry me, way last spring,

Even bought me a brand new diamond ring,

But he can have it, I don't want it,

'Cause I got the Georgia blues.
