Down by the county bridge the gondolas roll
C G
Hauling down to Birmingham that dirty half-slag coal
C G
I should let her move me on come sunshine, rain or drought
G D G
Its just like the circle says the Southern serves the south
[Chorus]
G D G
Hardships and troubles, don't you know I've have some
C G
I'm getting older every day, I'm a fair weather bum
C G
Let me tell you good people here, it's just about time
G D G
To catch a slow train through Georgia and ease a worried mind

G D G
Forty miles an hour she's rolling down the line
C G
Greasy rail, red clay trails through the lonely pine
C G
Anywhere that sunshine falls, that's where I want to be
G D G
Sunshine Southern Special won't you roll me to the sea
[Chorus]
G D G
Hardships and troubles, don't you know I've have some
C G
I'm getting older every day, I'm a fair weather bum
C G
Let me tell you good people here, it's just about time

G D G
Lord I wish I'sa a living day by day someplace down the tracks
C G
Come on gal my old pal, don't you know we won't look back
C G
I'll take down this old guitar and play it every day
G D G
Let the slow train through Georgia roll my blues away
[Chorus]
G D G
Hardships and troubles, don't you know I've have some
C G
I'm getting older every day, I'm a fair weather bum
C G
Let me tell you good people here, it's just about time
G D G
To catch a slow train through Georgia and ease a worried mind
