It was a rainy Wednesday morning, that's the day that I was born in
A E
That old sharecropper's one room country shack
A D
They said my mommy left me on the day before she had me
A E A
Said she hit the road and never once looked back
D
And I just like to mention that my grandma's old age pension
A E
Is the reason that I'm standing here today
A D
I got all my country learning just to milking and churning
A E A
Picking cotton, raising hell and baling hay
D
I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey
A E7
I wasn't born no yesterday
A D
Oh, I got a good Christian raisin' and an eight grade education
A E A
Ain't no need on treating me this way

A D
Oh, my sweet Carolina, I don't think I'll ever find
A E
Another man that's put together like you are
A D
I love your champion walking and your big city talking
A E A
And your brand new shiny Plymouth rag top car
D
Well, let's hurry up and wait in this land of give and take
A E7
It seems like haste it makes for waste every time
A D
I declare to my soul when I hear the ages roll
A E A
You know I'm gonnago and get my share of mine
D
I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey
A E7
I wasn't born no yesterday
A D
Oh, I got a good Christian raisin' and an eight grade education
A E A
Ain't no need at all on treating me this way
I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey
I wasn't born no yesterday
Lord, I got a good Christian raisin' and an eight grade education
A
Ain't no need at all on treating me this way
D
I've been to Georgia on a fast train, honey
A E7
I wasn't born no yesterday
A D
Oh, I got a good Christian raisin' and an eight grade education
A E A
Ain't no need at all on treating me this way
A E A
Ain't no need at all on treating me this way
