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

I could listen to Ray Charles sing this all day.
I like Willie Nelson's version also.
by Seajay from Georgia on 6/3/2008 9:29pm
This song is longer and it was also written by Stuart Gorrell, composed by Hoagy Carmichael. Here's the parts Good Ole' Honest Ray Charles Left Out. Ray Charles did not write this song, but his heirs has no problem allowing people to think he did.

Georgia, Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind.

Melodies bring memories
That linger in my heart
Make me think of Georgia
Why did we ever part?

Some sweet day when blossoms fall
And all the world's a song
I'll go back to Georgia
'Cause that's where I belong.

South Africa!!!
by j2strat on 7/3/2008 8:17pm
seajay...I do not believe anyone ever considered Ray Charles to be the writer of Georgia on my Mind and if he left out lyrics..that is standard practice within the context of the arrangement.
He did a great job on the tune and made it "famous"
by Rasa Macee. on 7/14/2008 9:18am
I'm listening this song all day. Again and again. I'm singin' too...
All day!

by pat bruhn on 8/14/2008 11:32am
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.

i was in georgia for the masters golf in 1991. i keep singing the song from atlanta to augusta that the driver of the van said, "hey, man, you are more georgian than me now, can't you see?"
i now sing "georgia" in bars here in manila every time i am requested to come up the stage -- accompaniment or no accompaniment..

I love Ella Fitzgerald version's too... strait Jazz.

I agree with rambo. ( i never thought those words would come out of my mouth.)
by padretango on 9/22/2008 9:48pm
The song writer conceives a song, but it only becomes alive when an interpreter lends his/her voice to it. Ray Charles makes Georgia in My Mind alive. Maybe there were others before him, but for my generation he is the one who performs that miracle.
The author captured the universal feeling of longing for the place were we grew up, that sweet place that will never again exist. It is a mirage because essentially is not geography but time, that precious time in our lives that will never come back, what creates our nostalgia. Even if we could go back to those old places, we could never again find our lost self: "The one who departs never comes back." (It will never be the same person.)

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 Abrew on 3/28/2009 1:09am
had it not been to diamonds like Ray charles the 'world' would have been just 'word' i have always appereciated his songs especially (georgia on my mind)
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!!!!!!!!!!!!

RAY CHARLES IZ DA #1 BEST BLIND piano player in the worlD!!

**DON'T LEAVE OUT STEVIE WONDER**
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
Ray Charles is one of the best ever , my whole life ive listened and loved ray

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 cirstiano ronoldo on 6/26/2009 8:25am

by Nix on 7/4/2009 3:37am
Have you guys heard 'Hit the Road Jack'? It is also by Ray Charles
by SS on 7/26/2009 3:32pm
I haven't ever heard a bad version,
but my favorite is by Jerry Reed!!
His guitar work on this one is awsome!!
by charles on 7/27/2009 6:57pm
charles is the best
by Mariano on 8/29/2009 2:24pm

by Georgia on 10/22/2009 2:28pm
I was not named after this song
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.
