It's a long way to georgia
A long way to south california
It's hard to get to heaven on that wicked path of sin

These hard-hearted women
They seem to get me every time
They way i'm treating momma they must be cheating on the mine

I've got my walking cane ready
I've got my watch and chain
Long time ago when you left me in the rain

Take my money off the table
Buy you a brand-new dress
Something kinda tells me i'm bound to loose the rest

It's funny how the times change
Thought i'd have you 'til i die
There's gonna be a fight tonight, i can tell by the look in your eye

I've got my walking cane ready
I've got my watch and chain
Long time ago when you left me in the rain

With not a penny in my pocket
I moved to the ocean blue
Left that dreadful city, got rid of you

Someone keeps a' trying
To push me from the tracks
Lord, won't you help me keep these women off my back?

I feel like a two-time loser
You seem to leave me every time
Lord, won't you help me release these chains of mine?

I've got my walking cane ready
I've got my watch and chain
Long time ago when you left me in the rain

I feel like a two-time loser
You seem to leave me every time
Lord, won't you help me release these chains of mine?

I've got my walking cane ready
I've got my watch and chain
Long time ago when you left me in the rain
