Geor-gia, Geor-gia,
the whole day through;

Geor-gia, Geor-gia,
a song of you,
comes as sweet and clear

Oth-er arms reach out to me,
oth-er eyes smile ten-der-ly,
still in peace-ful dreams I see
the road leads back to you.

Geor-gia, Geor-gia,
no peace I find,
just an old sweet song keeps
Geor-gia on my mind.

An old song keeps Geor-gia on my mind.
"Georgia on My Mind" is a song written in 1930 by Hoagy Carmichael (music) and Stuart Gorrell (lyrics). It is the official state song of the U.S. state of Georgia. Gorrell wrote the lyrics for Hoagy's sister, Georgia Carmichael.[1] However, the lyrics of the song are ambiguous enough to refer either to the state or to a woman named "Georgia".
