I'm walking the long road to Georgia
That long road that's taking me back
Gonna live in the hills, far away in the hills
And I'm gonna dress in black

Way high in the hills in Georgia
I'll live in my old tin shack
Nobody I'll see and no one will see me
And I'm gonna dress in black

'Cause I went down to the big city
I had money, had money in my sack
Had a boy so fine, I thought he was mine
But he left me without a shirt on my back

Way high in the hills in Georgia
I'll live in my old tin shack
And I'll think of the time when that man was mine
And I'm gonna dress in black

'Cause I went down to the big city
I had money, had money in my sack
I had a boy so fine, I thought he was mine
But he left me without a shirt on my back

Way high in the hills in Georgia
I'll live in my old tin shack
And I'll think of the time when that man was mine
And I'm gonna dress in black
Yeah I'm gonna dress in black
Yeah I'm gonna dress in black
