It's a long way to Georgia, 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 When treated mama, there must be cheatin' on their minds I got my walking cane ready, I got my watch and chain long time ago you left me in the rain Take my money off the table, buy you a brand new dress Something kinda tells me, I'm about to lose 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 got my walking cane ready, I got my watch and chain long time ago 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 tryin', to push me from the track Lord won't you help keep these women off my back I feel like a two-time loser, seem to leave me every time Lord won't you help me release these chains of mine I got my walking cane ready, I got my watch and chain long time ago you left me in the rain
