Georgia on My Mind Lyrics


Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through
Just an old sweet song keeps that Georgia on my mind, on my mind
I said Georgia, Georgia, a song of you
Comes as sweet and clear as moonlight through the pines
Other arms reach out to me, other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see the road leads back to you
Oh, I Georgia, Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song, old sweet song, Georgia on my mind
Oh, just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
It'll always be Georgia

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

A longtime staple of the New Orleans blues and boogie-woogie community, pianist Isidore "Tuts" Washington was a primary influence on later Crescent City players spanning from Professor Longhair to Allen Toussaint to Fats Domino. Born January 24, 1907, he began teaching himself piano at the age of ten; inspired by the itinerant New Orleans musician Joseph Louis "Red" Cayou, Washington amassed a vast repertoire of songs by memorizing performances by area brass bands, then quickly returning home to develop his own renditions.
