“Georgia On My Mind” is a song written in 1930 by Stuart Gorrell (lyrics) and HoagyCarmichael (music). It is the official state song of the U.S. state of Georgia. Gorrell wrotethe lyrics for Hoagy’s sister, Georgia Carmichael. However, the lyrics of the song areambiguous enough to be referring either to the state or to a woman named “Georgia.”Carmichael’s 1965 autobiography, “Sometimes I Wonder”, records the origin: a friendsuggested: “Why don’t you write a song called ‘Georgia?’ Nobody lost much writingabout the South.”The song is perhaps best known as sung by Ray Charles, who recorded the song in 1960on the album “The Genius Hits the Road”. It became Georgia’s state song in 1979.Georgia, Georgia,The whole day throughJust an old sweet songKeeps Georgia on my mindI’m say GeorgiaGeorgiaA song of youComes as sweet and clearAs moonlight through the pinesOther arms reach out to meOther eyes smile tenderlyStill in peaceful dreams I seeThe road leads back to youI said Georgia,Ooh Georgia, no peace I findJust an old sweet songKeeps Georgia on my mindOther arms reach out to meOther eyes smile tenderlyStill in peaceful dreams I seeThe road leads back to youGeorgia,Georgia,No peace, no peace I findJust this old, sweet songKeeps Georgia on my mind
I said just an old sweet song,
