Georgia, Georgia, The whole day through

"Georgia on my mind"

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

Talking 'bout Georgia
I'm in 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 peacefull dreams I see
The road leads back to you

Georgia, sweet 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 peacefull dreams I see
The road leads back
It leads always back to you

I'm in Georgia, Georgia, sweet Georgia
No peace, no peace I find
Just this old sweet song
Keeps Georgia forever on my mind

Hoagy Carmichael - Stuard Gorrell

The State Georgia State

On April 24, 1979, "Georgia On My Mind"
was designated Georgia's official state song

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.

Hoagy Carmichael - Stuard Gorrell
