If I Ever Get Back to Georgia — текст песни (Dean Martin)

(Baker Knight)

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 messing around
If I ever get back to Georgia
I`m gonna nail my feet to the ground.

--- Instrumental ---

(In the cold, cold ground.)

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
There`ll be no messing around
If I ever get back to Georgia
I`m gonna nail my feet to the ground.

--- Instrumental ---

(In the cold, cold ground.)

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
I 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
There`ll be no messing around
If I ever get back to Georgia
I`m gonna nail my feet to the ground.

But if I ever get back to Georgia
There`ll be no messing around
If I ever get back to Georgia
I`m gonna nail my feet to the ground.

(In the cold, cold ground...)
