G That Georgia sun was blood red and going down F G That Georgia sun was blood red and going down Daddy said now come girl we're headed down the road to Augusta And faintly through his clenched fists he called mama's name G7 And then he cussed her C G He said girl you're young but some dude has come along and stole your mother D7 G But you can't steal a willing mind cause mama's always looking for a lover G That Georgia sun was blood red and going down F G That Georgia sun was blood red and going down With dusty teardrops on his face my daddy cried and big steps he was taking G7 Halfway running to keep up my shorter legs were so tired and shaking C G Where did I go wrong girl why she did leave us both this way D7 G At times like these a child of ten never knows exactly what to say G That Georgia sun was blood red and going down F G That Georgia sun was blood red and going down We searched in every barroom and honky tonk as well G7 And finally daddy found them and Lord you know the rest is hard to tell C G He sent me out to wait but scared I looked back through the door D7 G And daddy left them both soaking up the sawdust on the floor G That Georgia sun was blood red and going down F G That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
