Performed by BR549 on Big Backyard Beat Show  
written by Billy Joe Shaver  
  
Verse 1:  
(G)On a rainy, windy morning that's the (C) day that i was born on  
In the old (G) sharecroppers one country (D7) shack  
(G) They say my mammy left me, (C) same day that she had me  
Said she (G) hit the road and (D7 )never once looked back (G)  
  
Verse 2:  
And i just thought i'd mention, my Grandma's old age pension  
Is the reason why i'm standing here today  
I got all my country learning, milking and a churning  
Pickin' cotton, rasin' hell, and bailin' hay  
  
Chorus:  
(G)I've been to Georgia on a (C) fast train honey  
(G) I wudn't born no yesterday (D7)  
(G) Got a good Christian raisin' and an (C) eighth grade education  
(G) Ain't no need in y'all a (D7) treatin' me this way  
  
Verse 3:  
And now sweet Caroline , i guess i'll ever find  
Another woman put together like you all  
With your wiggle and your walkin',and your big city talkin'  
Your brand new shiny Plymouth rag-top car  
  
Verse 4:  
Yeah it's hurry up and wait,in this world of give and take  
Seems like haste makes for waste every time  
And i pray to my soul, when you hear those ages roll  
You better know i'm gonna get my share of mine  
  
Chorus.(x2)  
  
(G)Ain't no need in y'all a (D7) treatin' me this way
