Shorty George (Take 2) Lyrics

Well Shorty George ain't no friend of mine
Yes-a Shorty George, he ain't no friend of mine
He keeps-a takin' all the women, leavin' the men behind

Lord, I went to my captain; and the man, he don't care
Yes, I went to my captain; and the man, he don't care
I'm going to take my woman, bring her right back here

I want to tell you, captain, it's a dirty shame
I want to tell you, captain, it's a dirty shame
Shorty George got my woman, left me in all in vain

Yes, I went to the station, looked up on the sign
Went to the station, looked up on the sign
Lord, the train she ride, you marked up on time

Well, I can't do nothin' hon but wave my hands
Can't do nothin', hon but wave my hands
Got me a lifetime sentence down in Sugarland

Lordy, some has got six months, some got two and three years
Yeah, some got six months, some got two and three years
But it's so many good men got lifetime here

And Shorty George traveling through the land
Shorty George traveling through the land
He don't take your woman, he take some woman's man

Got something to tell you, don't let it make you mad
Something to tell you, don't let it make you mad
I ain't got long down here, honey you heard I had
