lyrics

I knew a man from Georgia
He’d walk alone through the night
He’d sit ‘neath the stars and the cherry blossoms
Goodness and hope on his mind

He had a wife named Carol Sue
He had but now she is long gone
Her brother he came and he started screamin’
Telling the Georgia-man off

Say Sorry, say sorry

Anger was always his problem
You could see it there on his face
The brother he ran when our man start swingin’
Punching a tree
Breaking his hand

He looked up to the heavens
Felt convicted and knew he done wrong
So he went to church stole the Holy Water
Trying to baptize his song

I’m sorry, so sorry

Repentance is what he was seeking
He needed to find some new peace
So he’d ask forgiveness from the sons and daughters
Of every last person he’d meet

The fathers in the Catholic Churches
Told him he should pray fifty times
Instead he’d just steal all their Holy Water
And walk alone every night

I’m sorry, so sorry
