When sorrow sang softly and sweet So let me out of it Out of the cold To bring back light and hope for all And so if I could get you in Just for a little while Into the songs of sorrow You might understand Where am I now

Just an old sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind) I said Georgia Other arms reach out to me Other eyes smile tenderly Still in peaceful dreams I see The road leads back to you Keeps Georgia on my mind

Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind Georgia, Georgia, no peace I find Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through An' just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind Georgia, Georgia, a song of you, Comes as sweet and clear as moonlight through

Ring like silver, ring like gold Turn these diamonds straight back into coal Remember when our songs were just like prayers Like gospel hymns that you caught in the air? Come down, come down sweet reverence Unto my simple house and ring Ring out those

Keeps Georgia on my mind Just an old sweet song Other arms reach out to me Other eyes smile tenderly Still in peaceful dreams I see The road leads back to you The whole day through I said now, Georgia
