Georgia On My Mind Lyrics

Artist: Ray Charles
Album: Georgia On My Mind

Georgia, Georgia,
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

I'm say 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

I said Georgia,
Ooh Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

Georgia,
Georgia,
No peace, no peace I find
Just this old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

I said just an old sweet song,
Keeps Georgia on my mind

re:"Georgia on my mind" - Was the state of Georgia part of the song? Was the country of Georgia(beside Russia) maybe too? Right now it would probably like this song.

Ray Charles was brilliant - but I'm afraid that the best blind piano player in the world was and always will be - Art Tatum

by Sammie C on 3/19/2009 11:41am
I grew up listening to Ray Charles, Nat King Cole and the likes. My dad was an avid lover of these music giants! Everytime I hear this song, it reminds me of when he use to sit us on his lap and sing to us. Ray Charles is the truth, what can I say.
by Denny on 4/16/2009 7:51am
Where can I find the music book of this song? Really wanna learn to play it.
by bobbi on 4/23/2009 4:14pm
No one can EVER sing this song like the GREAT Ray Charles! It brings back so VERY many memories for me and probably for you as well. I had the GREAT privilege and pleasure of hearing Ray perform this and MANY of his other hits at the Asbury Park Music (Convention?) Hall in the EARLY '60s and have NEVER forgotten the passion and feelings he "put in to" this song!
by shauntaya on 4/29/2009 6:51pm
this is the best song in the world so who doesnt think that is a retated person os thats all i got to say!!!!!!!!!!!!
by Kevin R. Dickson on 5/10/2009 1:52am
You have to be tone deaf not to hear this sound and fall in love with it. Someone else might have wrote it, but Sir Ray Charles stamp will be forever on it.
by CmAn on 5/12/2009 9:20pm

by Dave on 5/20/2009 2:36pm
If you haven't already heard it, check out Richard Manuel's version, either with or without The Band. I love Ray's, but Richard's is much more soulful and from-the-heart.
by Henno-C on 6/4/2009 4:27pm
Amazing song, one of the best ever. Found it through tommy emmanuels instrumental version, and Im so glad I found it :)

by tj on 11/8/2009 4:52pm
This is a song that never gets old
by Matt Baker on 11/16/2009 6:04am
No doubt that Ray Charles made this song famous. But yes, it is true, he is not the original composer. That honour goes to Hoagy Carmichael. Funnily enough I heard another singer (Malcolm McNeill) doing a rendition of the Hoagy Carmichael version before I ever heard Ray Charles sing it.

he was the best ever I wish he was still alive
by Witherspoon on 6/11/2010 7:16am
As Seajay from Georgia posted two years ago Ray Charles didn't write the Lyrics to this tune. Hoagy Carmichael wrote the music and Stuart Gorrell the lyrics (in 1930). You should correct your info.
by Kalyan on 8/27/2010 4:19am
I love the blues ... and I love Ray Charles. Thank God for both.
by sarah on 8/31/2010 1:24pm
you spelled insult wrong girlfriend whatever your name is
by cinemike on 9/9/2010 4:30pm
This song was an great hit and a classic well before Ray Charles sang it... Hoagy Carmichael also wrote (the music to)'Stardust' - one of the great songs of the first half of the 20th Century.
by Dawbree' on 10/19/2010 8:52pm
This song is amazing!! R.I.P Ray Charles. I L O V E Y O U . !

Why are Ray Charles fans such bad spellers?
by Aaroninlatin on 11/10/2010 12:42pm
Great cover. Hoagy Carmichael wrote a great song and Ray Charles made it his.

by Giland BIKOUA on 1/7/2011 1:43pm
writing a text is something, but singing a song is to give life to this text. Georgia on my mind was writen by someone else, but Ray Chales had given life to this song and it will never be forgoten in this world.
by mis unknown on 2/15/2011 7:43am
i liked this song because it give georgia the respect they need and let us be heard arond the world.Thanks ray i have to give it to you on that one you put your mind in to it.So that tell me to naver gave up on what i have in mind.

by Joshua on 3/18/2012 9:30pm
Get the fuck out of here with "deandre gave justice to this song"! No wanna be American Idol could come close to RC. Study up on music before you let bullshit fall out if your mouth like that.
by haley on 3/25/2012 8:04pm
I agree with Joshua, ray is a one of a kind and deandre or any other American idol ect. That thinks they can even come close to singing this song with the soul, and feeling that ray did is delusional. Ray Charles was a great man, wonderful musician, and loving father, don't butcher his songs with your unfit voice.
by Squidz on 4/5/2012 4:20pm
This is such a great song, but I really just wish that it would be a couple lines longer.*sigh*

Georgia by Ray Charles is fab. But I think Willie Nelsons version is better.

Great song, l love Georgia and miss my friends from Atlanta :(
by Brent on 8/25/2014 8:05am
Having grown up in Georgia and having lived in other states for many years because of the military I feel this song was made for me! Georgia is still where my heart is, and I will be one day! Ray Charles is simply the best, and I don't believe anyone else can sing this song with the feeling and passion he does! Because even though he didn't live in Georgia for a long time he was born there and listening to him sing this song seems to be where his heart was! When I get lonely for my home all I have to do is listen to Ray sing this song!
by Iván on 6/15/2015 11:22pm
I'm from Russia, the Far East, and the song for me as a native. best performance, lyrics, music.
by Eric on 4/21/2016 9:55am
Ray Charles did not write this song!
by Felonious Punk on 2/19/2022 3:44pm
Hoagy Carmichael was from Indiana and had never been to Georgia. The saxophonist Frankie Teshemacher said he gonna your Georgia and wanted a song about the state so hoagy who was in grad school wrote it and had his good friend and room mate I believe Stu Gorrell write the lyrics. Gorrell had never written song lyrics before. I love the song and play it and sing often but the lyrics are pretty clunky. As far as blind pianists has no one ever heard of George Shearing (as well as the aforementioned Art Tatum).
