Verse:

She just got here yes -ter -day, Things are hot here now they say,

There's a big change in town.

Gals are jeal -ous there's no doubt, Still the fel -lows rave a -bout

Sweet, Sweet Geor -gia Brown;

And ev -er since she came The col -ored folks all claim:

 

Chorus:

Say, No gal made has got a shade On Sweet Geor -gia Brown,

Two left feet but oh so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown;

They all sigh and wan -na die For Sweet Geor -giea Brown

I'll tell you just why you know I don't lie Not Much!

It's been said she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town

Since she came why it's a shame how she cools 'em down

Fel -lers she can't get are Fel -ers she ain't met

Geor -gia claimed her Geor -gia named her Sweet Geor -gia Brown.
