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
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
