I got a gal in Cedartown Georgia I used to have to walk nearly three miles to court her She never had much just a sharecropper's daughter But I married her and took her down to New Orleans Got a little house in the South French Quarter Got a job tookin' bales load them on steamboat I give the seven days pay next day unbroke When she ain't a sleepin' all day she's a primpin'  Every evenin' when the sun goes down she starts a swarmin' on Orleans town Walkin' into work this mornin' at daybreak I caught her with the tall long dandy from canebreak As she walked right by me and she looked right through me  I made up my mind what I'm a gonna do eased in the pawnshop and bought a 22 I watched as the roomclerk gave them a room key A standin' right outside I could read Room 23 Tonight I'll put her on a train for Georgia Gonna be a lotta kin folks squallin' and a grieving Cause that Cedartown gal ain't breathing
