I'm gonna take the next bus on back to Georgia   I'm gonna spend every night right there in my honey's arms   I'm gonna let the sun warm me in the morning   Gonna drink some lemonade in the evening shade   I'm gonna take the next bus on back to Georgia   Gonna wear magnolia blossoms in my hair   A big city man told me that I'd be his woman   I went there even though my mama said beware   This city smells like a swamp garbage I ain't lyin'   I miss the sweet smell of a honeysuckle wine   I'm gonna take the next bus on back to Georgia   Where the cottonfields are wide in the dewy morn   All I need is enough for a oneway fare   Don't want a round trip ticket just enough to gettin' me there   You know I'll be home prob'ly with the crack of dawn   On the next bus back to Georgia where I belong   You know I'll be home prob'ly with the crack of dawn   On the next bus back to Georgia where I belong
