That Geor-gia sun was blood red and go-in’ down.

Dad-dy said: “Now come girl,
-3 -6* -6* -6* -6* -6* -5 -5 6 -6*
we’re head-in’ down the road to Au-gus-ta.”
-3 -6* -6* -6* -6* -6* -6*
And faint-ly through his clenched teeth,
-6* -6* -6* -6* -6* -5 -5 -5 -5 5
he called Ma-ma’s name, and then he cussed her.

He said: “Girl, you’re young,
7 7 7 7 7 7 7
but some dude has come a-long
7 -7 -7 -7 -6*
and stole your moth-er.”
6 -6* -6* -6* -6* 7 -6* 6 -5
But you can’t steal a will-in’ mind
-5 6 6 6 6 6 5* -3 -3 -4 -5
Cause ma-ma’s al-ways look-in’ for a lov-er.

That Geor-gia sun was blood red and go-in’ down.

With dusty teardrops in his face, my daddy cried an’ big steps he was
takin’.
An’ halfway runnin’ to keep up, my shorter legs were so tired and
shakin’.
“Where did I go wrong, girl? Why would she leave us both this way?”
At times like these, a child with tears never knows exactly what to
say

That Georgia sun was blood red and goin’ down.
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin’ down.

We searched in every bar room, an’ honky-tonk as well.
An’ finally Daddy found them, but Lord, you know, the rest is hard to
tell.
He sent me out to wait, but scared, I looked back through the door.
An’ Daddy left them both soakin’ up the sawdust on the floor.

That Georgia sun was blood red and goin’ down.
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin’ down.
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin’ down.
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin’ down.
