Lyrics
Mama didn’t burn no biscuits when we didn’t go to school Mama didn’t fry no chicken. Mama slept til noon In the summertime….in Georgia I recall, My sister reading a book she got from school keeping cool in front of the fan While me and big brother were hittin one another with fly swatters in our hands In the summertime…. in Georgia. My mama’s cookin supper in the kitchen, Daddy worked on cars outside Mama said, “Daddy bring a switch in, I’m gonna stripe them boys’ hide” It was the summertime….in Georgia x2 Me and my girl Betty we never held hands because our palms got sweaty And that was something she just couldn’t stand In the summertime….in Georgia Well, it was hotter than a fire in mid July felt like we were walking on the sun even in the shade it’s a hundred degrees. Man, that’ll burn you up…. It’s the summertime…..in Georgia It was too hot to go fishin. It was too hot to play ball. We’d all go to the swimming hole until our mamas called In the summertime…in Georgia Well, it was hotter than a fire in mid July felt like we were walking on the sun even in the shade it’s a hundred degrees. Man, that’ll burn you up…. It’s the summertime…..in Georgia Me and my little brother we were sitting on the porch counting the stars and the lightening bugs and putting in a jar in the summertime…in Georgia Late at night when the sun don’t shine and it’s time to go to sleep Deep in the thicket there’s a thousand crickets singin a song for me In the summertime….in Georgia its the summertime….in Georgia Well, well Hotter than a fire like we’re walking on the sun Even in the shade Man, that’ll burn you up Summertime in georgia It’s the summertime in Georgia Feed the chickens, baby
