If I Ever Get Back To Georgia Lyrics - Hank Snow

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 

[ guitar ] 

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... 

[ piano ] 

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...
