Lyrics

Melodies bring memories that linger in my heart,
Make me think of Georgia, why did we ever part?
Some sweet day when blossoms fall and all the world's a song,
I'll go back to Georgia 'cause that's where I belong.

Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through,
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind.
Georgia, Georgia, a song of you
Comes as sweet and clear as moonlight through the pines.
Other arms reach out to me; other eyes smile tenderly;
Still in peaceful dreams I see the road leads back to you.

Georgia, Georgia, no peace I find,
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind.
