"Geraldine" lyrics - MARTY STUART

Well that old train come rollin' rght through my back yard
When it went across that levy, I was crying so hard
I'm here to tell you people
Well it's an awful shame
Girl done broke my heart
Geraldine was her name

[Chorus:]
Geraldine, geraldine
Why you do me like you do
Why you have to be so mean
Geraldine, geraldine

Well I think she's gone to memphis, done found another man
Well they tell me he's a gambler, he plays a winning hand
Got a pocket full of money got a long, black cadillac
She left me in mississippi, she ain't never coming back

[Chorus:]
Geraldine, geraldine
Why you do me like you do
Why you have to be so mean
Geraldine, geraldine

Fish done stopped biting
It's empty in my stall
Look up at your picture
Well it fell down off the wall
I'd be doing pretty good
Till that sun goes down
Then I start thinking about my baby
Over in that other town

[Chorus:]
Geraldine, geraldine
Why you do me like you do
Why you have to be so mean
Geraldine, geraldine,

Geraldine, why you have to be so pretty
Just have to be so mean
Have to be so preyy
Well you have to be so mean
Geraldine, geraldine, geraldine, geraldine
