Lord, nobody knows Atlanta like I do
Oh, nobody knows Atlanta like I do
What's the reson I know it, I've traveled it through and through
If you've got a good woman, this is a lesson I'll give to you
Oh, if you've got a good woman, lesson I'll give to you
Don't you take her Atlanta, the mens'll take her away from you
Oh, they've taken my woman, hurt me to the bone
Lord, they've taken my woman, hurt me to the bone
That's the reason why you hear me cry and moan
I've taken one woman, believe me I am through
Lord, I've taken one women, believe me I am through
Just for what you do it's coming home to you
Oh, don't you hear that steamboat whistle blow?
Oh, don't you hear that steamboat whistle blow?
And it blows just like it never blowed before
That's alright baby, 'bout how you run around
Oh, that's all right baby, how you run around
But your heart'll strike sorrow when Bob gets back to town
If you take my woman, I won't get mad with you
Oh, if you take my woman, I won't get mad with you
Like you take her from me, somebody'll sure take her from you
