georgia on my mind.jpgmusic: Stuart Gorrell, Hoagy Carmichael

Georgia, Georgia,
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

I'm say 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

I said Georgia,
Ooh Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

(instrumental break)

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, no peace I find
Just this old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

I said just an old sweet song,
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Georgia on My Mind
Transcribed from vocals by Mildred Bailey, recorded November 24, 1931,
From Mildred Bailey, volume 1, Sweet Beginnings, Old Masters, mb-103.

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 on my mind!

Georgia! Georgia!
A song of you,
Comes as sweet and clear as moonlight
Through the pine.

Other arms reach out to me,
Other eyes smile tenderly,
Still in peaceful dreams I see,
Road leads back to you.

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

Other arms reach out to me,
Other eyes smile tenderly,
Still in peaceful dreams I see,
Road leads back to you.

Georgia! Georgia!
No peace I find,
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind,
Georgia on my mind!
