• Georgia on My Mind
• 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 meOther eyes smile
  tenderlyStill in peaceful dreams I seeThe road
  leads back to you.
• Georgia, Georgia, no peace I findJust an old
  sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind.
• Melodies bring memoriesThat linger in my
  heartMake me think of GeorgiaWhy did we ever
  part?
• Some sweet day when blossoms fallAnd all the
  world's a songI'll go back to Georgia'Cause
  that's where I belong.
