[D] A meeting is pleasure and [G] a part is to [D] grief
[D] That a false-hearted lover is [A] worse than a [D] thief
[D] a thief can but rob you he'll [G] take what you [D] save
[D] But a false-hearted lover takes [A] you to your [D] grave

(Chorus)
[D] I'm troubled, I'm troubled, I'm [G] troubled in [D] mind
[D] If trouble don't kill me lord, I'll [A] live a long [D] time
[D] I'm troubled, I'm troubled, I'm [G] troubled in [D] mind
[D] If trouble don't kill me lord, I'll [A] live a long [D] time

mando solo

[D] The grave can decay you and [G] turn you to [D] dust
[D] ain't a girl in a million that a [A] poor boy can [D] trust
[D] cause they hug you and kiss you and [G] tell you more [D] lies
[D] than the crossties on the railroad or the [A] stars in the [D] sky

Chorus

mando solo

(accordion accompaniment only, can be acapella or use same chords as other verses)
I'm going to Georgia, I'm going to roam
I'm going to Georgia and I'm gonna make it my home
I'm gonna build me a cabin on a mountain so high
where the wild birds and turtledoves can hear my sad cry

Chorus
