Verse:

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.

 

Chorus:

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 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.
