Abbie Gardner - Sweet Georgia Pines lyrics

I was born in Black Rock, beneath the sweet Georgia pines Daddy was a railroad man, Momma was so kind But that boy showed me heaven, how could I know He'd just up and leave one day, when my belly began to grow Beneath the sweet Georgia pines A sinner prays, a sinner cries Beneath the sweet Georgia pines That's where I live, that's where I'll die Baby born 6 days ago She died on day number five Mozes came to me in a dream To carry her cross the river wide He laid her down beneath the trees In a shady bed of pine I didn't have me nothing But my sins and the tears in my eyes I was born in Black Rock That's where they'll dig my grave Daddy won't forgive me But the lord says I'll be saved
