Cedartown Georgia Tab

by Waylon Jennings


im pretty sure this is right
this is my favorite Waylon song

                              
I got a gal in Cedartown Georgia
                                                    
I used to have to walk nearly three miles to court her
                                                
She never had much, just a sharecropper's daughter

But I married her and took her down to New Orleans.
                                            
Got a little house in the South French Quarter
                                          
Got a job at the base loadin them steamboats
                                        
I give the seven days pay next day im broke
                                                
When she ain't a sleepin' all day she's a primpin'.

Every evenin' when the sun goes down
                                    
She starts a swarmin' on N'orlean town
                                       
Walkin' into work this mornin' at daybreak
                                                     
I caught her with the tall mark dandy from the canebreak.

she walked right by me
                              
And she looked right through me.

I made up my mind what I'm a gonna do
                                   
Eased in the pawnshop and bought a 22.
                                            
I watched as the roomclerk gave them a room key
                                           
A standin' right outside I could read Room 23.
                                        
Tonight I'll put her on a train for Georgia

Gonna be a lotta kin folks squallin' and a grieving
                                      
'Cause that Cedartown gal ain't breathin...
