Lyrics: John Maher/Suzanne Whitehead
Music: John Maher/Suzanne Whitehead
Drifting by Savannah
Sails on empty wind
Lately he had Georgia on his mind
She wore a blue bandanna
With a tattoo on her shin
The type of girl you rarely ever find
When she laid him down to rest
Took him in her arms
Knowing it was worth a life of danger
Spent their last night together
Better now than never
Nothing but a loving rebel stranger
He marched on through Savannah
With Sherman on his heels
Whistling songs of Georgia on his mind
The bloody blue bandanna
You’ll not know how it feels
To leave the one you love so far behind
When she laid him down to rest
Took him in her arms
Knowing it was worth a life of danger
Spent their last night together
Better now than never
Nothing but a loving rebel stranger
When she laid him down to rest
Took him in her arms
Knowing it was worth a life of danger
