Peter and I we went fishin' Georgia Railroad I am bound; Caught a big mud-cat, put him in the kitchen, Georgia Railroad, Georgia gal. I led sheep up to the pasture, Georgia Railroad I am bound; But my gal said: "Sheep can't you go a little faster", Georgia Railroad, Georgia gal. Sheep said: "Cow, I have a sore toe", Georgia Railroad I am bound; Cow said: "Sheep, I did not know", Georgia Railroad, Georgia gal. Well I'm goin' down the road and the road's all muddy, Georgia Railroad I am bound; But I'm so drunk I can't stand steady, Georgia Railroad, Georgia gal. -Greg |
