Gonna Send You Back to Georgia

Jake Hammonds, Johnnie Mae Matthews

You know that you had nothin' when I met you baby
But look what you got now
Sometimes I wonder, did I make a mistake
When I brought you from the south?

So I'm gonna send you back to Georgia
Girl‚ just that's where you belong‚ mmh
You done got in the big city
You done started doing me wrong‚ mmh

You know that your mama and your papa done told me baby
Not to take you from the south
I 'dopted though you were a little child
Say the bright lights knocked you out

So I'm gonna take you back to Georgia
Girl, you just don't know a thing, no no
Now when I first met you baby
You couldn't even read or write your name‚ no no
(Send me back)

[Instrumental]

You know that you run the streets with your blonde hair
Trying to play the high class games
You run the streets both the day and night
You don't even have pocket change

So I'm gonna send you back to Georgia
Girl before I lose my mind, mm
And I ain't understanding baby
What is making your head so hot
So crazy hot
So really hot
So really hot
Come on give it to me
And send me back
