The Man Was Burning Lyrics by Jake Blount

2022

[Verse 1]
People in the land of Georgia
Little they cared about God
When the news got in the land that
Man was burning on the log
That man was countin' his money
Yeah, he was grinnin' mighty broad
He held a greenback dollar aloft, said
"This money gonna make me a god"
[Chorus]
I'll tell you 'bout the man was burning
Way down yonder in the land of Georgia
Yes, a man was burning
For blasphemin' the name of God
[Verse 2]
People in the land of Georgia
Prudent would not stay
So they sent for a saw
Just to try to get him away (Get him away)
When that saw did come (Hah, hah)
Began to sawin' that log (Hah, hah)
Well, as thе sawdust fell, (Hah, hah)
It commenced a-drippin' blood (Blood will fall)
Thе people gathered to witness
His friends got frightened and scared
As flames of fire came out of his mouth
Came through his nose and ears
[Chorus]
I'll tell you 'bout the man was burning
Way down yonder in the land of Georgia
This-a man was burning
For blasphemin' the name of God
I told you 'bout the man was burning
Way down yonder in the land of Georgia
Yes, the man was burning
For blasphemin' the name of God
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
I told you 'bout the man was burning
Way down yonder in the land of Georgia
The man was burning
For blasphemin' the name of God
I told you 'bout the man was burning
Way down yonder in the land of Georgia
The man was burning
He threw his greed in the face of God
