Verse:

Mel -o -dies bring mem -o -ries that lin -ger in my heart,

Make -me -think of Geor -gia, Why did we ev -er part?

Some sweet day when blos -soms fall and all the world's a song,

I'll go back to Geor -gia 'cause that's where I be -long.

 

Chorus:

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

Just an old sweet song keeps Geor -gia On My Mind. (Geor -gia on my mind)

Geor -gia, Geor -gia, a song of you,

Comes as sweet and clear as moon -light through the pines.

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.
