Blood Red and Going Down Tanya Tucker
written by Curly Putman
[G]That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
That Georgia sun was [F]blood red and [G]going down
Daddy said now come girl we're headed down the road to Augusta
And faintly through his clenched fists he called mama's name
And then he [G7]cussed her
He [C]said girl you're young but some dude has come along and stole your [G]mother
But you can't steal a willing mind cause [D7]mama's always looking for a [G]lover
repeat #1
With dusty teardrops on his face my daddy cried and big steps he was taking
Halfway running to keep up my shorter legs were so tired and [G7]shaking
[C]Where did I go wrong girl why she did leave us both this [G]way
At times like these a child of ten [D7]never knows exactly what to[G] say
repeat #1
We searched in every barroom and honky tonk as well
And finally daddy found them and Lord you know the rest is hard [G7]to tell
[C]He sent me out to wait but scared I looked back through the [G]door
And daddy left them both [D7]soaking up the sawdust on the [G]floor
repeat #1
