About Georgia on my Mind
“Georgia on My Mind” was written and recorded in 1930 by Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell. Hoagy Carmichael was a vocalist and the famous bandleader, while Stuart Gorrell was a banker. The song did well but was not a hit.

Georgia on My Mind Lyrics
Georgia, Georgia
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
Georgia on my mind
Each day, 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, to you, my beautiful Georgia
Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
Oh, Georgia, Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
