One  rainy night in Dalton they were talkin' in the bar
 about two bodies they'd been searchin' for
behind  old Samson's sawmill the blood hounds foud their grave
they  were layin' in that red  Georgia clay
so  i just sat and listened and drank my whiskey down
 i knew id never make it out of town
when  a big hand grabbed my shoulder i started shakin' in my boots
i  knew the time had come to tell the truth
said  i followed them one evenin' when the sun was sinkin' low
 i knew that loggin' shack's where they would go
but  i watched them love together it was more than i could take
so  i burried them in that red  Georgia clay
well  i maybe hungry cold  and lonely  in this old  prison cell
 and when i die i geuss i'll go to Hell
but  at least i know she won't be runnin' round on me today
cause  i left her in that red  Georgia clay
arm  in arm together they both wanted it that way
so  i left them in that red  Georgia clay
 ( just finish it with an old school ending by sliding a flat D chord to major D chord.)
