Down by the county bridge Gondola Road

Hauling down to Birmingham the dirty ashlike coal

I shouldn't have let him move me one come sunshine

Rain or drought

'Cause just like the circle says

Southern serves the south

Hardship and troubles

Lord you know I have some

Getting older every day and

A fair weather bum

Let me tell you good people

Here it's just about time

Catch a slow train through Georgia

And ease a worried mind

Forty miles an hour

She's rolling down the line

Greasy rail

Red clack trails through the long leaf pines

Anyplace that sunshine falls

Is where I long to be

Sunshine southern special

Drove me to the sea

Hardship and troubles

Don't you know I have some

Getting older every day and

A fair weather bum

Let me tell you good people

Here it's just about time

Catch a slow train through Georgia

And ease a worried mind

Lord I wish was living day by day

Someplace down the track

Come on gal

My old pal you know we'll not look back

I'll take this old guitar

I'll play her every day

Like a slow train through Georgia

Roll my blues away

Hardship and troubles

Don't you know I have some

Getting older every day and

A fair weather bum

Let me tell you good people

Here it's just about time

Catch a slow train through Georgia

And ease a worried mind
