Red Georgia Clay

D
One rainy night in Dalton they were 
talkin' in the bar
D                          
About two bodies they'd been 
            A
searching for
  D                             
Behind old Samson's sawmill, the 
                          Bm
blood hounds found their grave
          D              A        
They were layin' in that red 
   D
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                           
When a big hand grabbed my 
                          Bm
shoulder, I started shakin' in my 
boots

      D                 A         
And I knew the time had come to 
       D
tell the truth
  D
I said I followed them one evening 
when the sun was sinkin' low
  D                                
I knew that loggin' shack was where
        A
 they'd go
           D               
But when I watched 'em love 
together, it was more than I could 
 Bm
take
               D              A   
So I left them layin' in that red 
        D
Georgia clay

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


Arm and arm together, they both 
wanted it that way
So I left them layin' in that Red 
Georgia clay
