"Georgia on My Mind" is a song written in 1930 by Hoagy Carmichael (music) and Stuart Gorrell (lyrics). It is the official state song of the U.S. state of Georgia. Gorrell wrote the lyrics for Hoagy's sister, Georgia Carmichael.[1]

However, the lyrics of the song are ambiguous enough to refer either to the state or to a woman named "Georgia"

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

just an old sweet song keeps Geor-gia on my mind.

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

comes as sweet and clearas moon-light throu-gh 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 keepsGeor-gia on my mind.

[Key change from Eb to F]

[Sing above words right through again in F]

[Add ‘Tag’ at end]

An old song keeps Geor-gia on my mind.
