lyrics

She was on the street in Denver
And she was playing that old hustle tune
She was looking so sweet and tender
But, she was hard from the rat race
And the men in her room

Sweet Georgia Sweet
You know what I mean
Sweet Georgia Sweet
You little foxy machine
You meet 'em on the corner of Colfax and Vine
You're gonna give up a little piece of your time

He used to work at a bar in Memphis
So, he was used to the women
Who came in looking for someone to take them
On the merry-go-round to riches and fame

Sweet Georgia Sweet
You know what I mean
Sweet Georgia Sweet
You little foxy machine
You meet 'em on the corner of Colfax and Vine
You're gonna give up a little piece of your time

Every once in a while I wonder
What it's like to be travelling free
Then I look out my window and find her
There hitching a ride at a quarter to three

Sweet Georgia Sweet
You know what I mean
Sweet Georgia Sweet
You little foxy machine
You meet 'em on the corner of Colfax and Vine
You're gonna give up a little piece of your time
