Red Georgia Clay

• D

    D 
One rainy night in Dalton they were talkin' in the bar  
D                                      A 
About two bodies they'd been searching for 
  D                                                       Bm 
Behind old Samson's sawmill, the blood hounds found their grave 
          D              A           D 
They were layin' in that red Georgia clay  
   D 
So I just sat and listened and drank my whiskey down 
  D                             A 
I knew I'd never make it out of town 
       D                                                     Bm 
When a big hand grabbed my shoulder, I started shakin' in my boots 
      D                 A                D  
And I knew the time had come to tell the truth  
  D 
I said I followed them one evening when the sun was sinkin' low  
  D                                        A 
I knew that loggin' shack was where they'd go 
           D                                                   Bm 
But when I watched 'em love together, it was more than I could take 
               D              A           D 
So I left them layin' in that red Georgia clay 

         D       G         D        G               D 
I may be hungry, cold and lonely in this ole prison cell 
                                  A 
And when I die I guess I'll go to hell 
       D                                                Bm 
But at least I know she won't be runnin' 'round on me today 
              D             A           D 
Cause they're layin' in the Red Georgia clay 
 
 
Arm and arm together, they both wanted it that way 
So I left them layin' in that Red Georgia clay
