Railroad runs through Georgia
Railroad and a canal
If it hadn't been for Liza Jane
There never would've been no hell.
(To the second part of the melody)
There never would've been no hell, boys,
There never would've been no hell;
There never would've been no hell, boys,
There never would've been no hell.
Wrap up your troubles in your mind, boys,
Wrap up your troubles in your mind;
Wrap up your troubles in your mind, boys,
Wrap up your troubles in your mind. ... ..(Thede)
