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 sweet and clear as moonlight through the pines.

Other arms reach out to me. Other eyes smile tenderly.

Am7 F C Bdim Am7 C#dim Dm7 G7

Still, in peaceful dreams I see the road leads back to you.

Georgia, Georgia, no peace I find

just and old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind

Bygone days of happiness still haunt me all the while,

nothing could compare with my Georgia's sunny smile.

That is why I often sigh as down the trail I roam,

Longing for sweet Georgia because it is my home.

Georgia, Georgia, no peace I find.

Just and old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind.
