If I Ever Get Back to Georgia - Hank Snow

作词：Baker Knight

作曲：Baker Knight

Well the wind blows cold in New York City

along about the middle of now

And I'm telling you I'd be a happy man

if I could get away somehow

Cause I'm growing old before my time

finally I see the light

But if it costs a dime to get around the world

I couldn't get out of sight

But if I ever get back to Georgia

there'll be no messin' around

If I ever get back to Georgia

I'm gonna nail my feet to the ground

Well the buildings here in New York City

grow so doggone tall

Sometimes you can walk for a couple of days

and never see the sun at all

So I left last night I was homeward bound

now I wanna sit and I cry

Cause I stuck out my thumb till my thumb

got numb and the cars went right on by

But if I ever get back to Georgia

there'll be no messin' around

If I ever get back to Georgia

I'm gonna nail my feet to the ground

Well I guess my time in New York City

hasn't been a total waste

Cause I met a little girl from a social world

and really put her in her place

When she sold me

half of the Brooklyn Bridge

I hung around just for spite

And I played this part till I won her heart

and I bought the other half last night

But if I ever get back to Georgia

there'll be no messin' around

If I ever get back to Georgia

I'm gonna nail my feet to the ground
