Blood Red And Goin' Down

(アルバム： What's Your Mama's Name - 1973)

That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
That Georgia sun was blood red and going down

Daddy said, "Now come girl
We're headed down the road to Augusta"
And frankly through his clenched teeth
He called Mama's name and then he cussed her

He said, "Girl, you're young
But some dude has come along and stole your mother"
But you can't steal a willing mind
'Cause mama's always looking for a lover

That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
That Georgia sun was blood red and going down

With dusty teardrops on his face
My daddy cried an' big steps he was taking
Halfway running to keep up
My shorter legs were so tired and shaking

"Where did I go wrong, girl?
Why would she leave us both this way?"
At times like these, a child of ten
Never knows exactly what to say

That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
That Georgia sun was blood red and going down

We searched in every barroom
An' honky-tonk as well
An' finally daddy found them
And Lord, you know, the rest is hard to tell

He sent me out to wait
But scared I looked back through the door
An' daddy left them both
Soaking up the sawdust on the floor

That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
