Alternate Atlanta Theme Song

Jubilant song singing the praises of the beautiful southern city of Atlanta, Georgia, USA!

Written in 1985 for a convention theme song. Never went anywhere. Was rekindled recently with Joyce Ward and Doug Gazlay reconnecting. Put out now for all to enjoy!

I LOVE ATLANTA
By Joyce Ward

I Love Atlanta
I Said, Atlanta
the brightest star that shines
way down in Dixie Land

I love Atlanta
Great town, Atlanta
It's time for you to shine
so, let's strike up the band

Sweet Magnolia blossoms
And your soft southern drawl
Gracious hospitality sayin'
"Come down south Y'all"

I love Atlanta
God bless Atlanta
The reigning queen
of dear old Dixie Land

Peach trees are a-bloomin'
under sunny summer skies
Pretty smilin' women
Oh, it must be paradise

Down in Atlanta
I said, Atlanta
You rise above them all
Your beuty is so grand

I love Atlanta
God Bless, Atlanta
Oh, You're the brightest star in Dixie
I said, the brightest star in Dixie
Oh, you're the brightest star
in dear old Dixie Land

(Instrumental)

Peach trees are a-bloomin'
under sunny summer skies
Pretty smilin' women
Oh, it must be paradise

Down in Atlanta
I said, Atlanta
You rise above them all
Your beuty is so grand

I love Atlanta
God Bless, Atlanta
Oh, You're the brightest star in Dixie
I said, the brightest star in Dixie
Oh, you're the brightest star
in dear old Dixie Land
