I hear the bloodhounds a-bayin' I know just what they're sayin'
Georgia boy, there's no place you can hide
Sheriff's puss is gunnin' I gotta keep on a-runnin'
Till I cross the river and I'm on the other side
Maybe tomorrow there'll be no more sorrow
Then I try to change my life of sin
But in the meantime
These words keep a-runnin' through my mind
This Georgia boy's in trouble again
In the Georgia work camp
The food is bad, the water is bad
I said,
Isn't that no way for a dog to live?
Solitary drove me wild
So one night the bars are filed
Once again I became a fugitive
Standin' on the back roads
Lookin' for a railroad
Searchin' for a boxcar to hide in
But in the meantime
These words keep a-runnin' through my mind
This Georgia boy's in trouble again
Oh, this Georgia boy's in trouble again
