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

Georgia should be longer
simple and perfect song.i love it
I could listen to Ray Charles sing this all day.
I like Willie Nelson's version also.
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.
a very classic song that will never die with time!! A masterpiece!!
I like this song, and I am singing it, thanks for the lyrics.
I LOVE RAY CHARLES!
Georgia on my mind is a great song:)
he is the best singer i've seen
specially because of the tragic life he has had and this song is one of my favs.
Even among who see, he is the best
Ray Ray Ray....what more can i say...this song is the sh*t...old,young,drunk,high or sober..white or black...it tauches ones heart!!!!
South Africa!!!
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"
I'm listening this song all day. Again and again. I'm singin' too...
All day!
I l o v e "Georgia on my mind", and this song brings me memories.
Best wishes from Kaunas, Lithuania :)
i love this song it is one of the greatest song ever made!!
I named my daughter afer this song!!! what more can I say?
"Georgia on my Mind" is my favorit song ever i am glad that i live in georgia. i wish that i could have met RAY and sat down and talked to him and asked him some qusetions and just shake his hand that would be and honor.
the song of my life
Great Song, da
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.
¢¾ ray charles
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.)
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.)
elsker den her sang , den tunge fede rolige rytme svinger bare!
ray charles was the best soul´singer , even he was blind , he played the piano in a great way ,
Mexico

Ray Charles was certainly a very talented man.
May he rest in peace.

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

Ray Charles is the greatest single influence and inspiration to greatness on a piano that ever lived,even though he was blind he was and is the best R.I.P Ray Charles
<3 This song omg.
RIP man ;D
I love this sonng.It remindes me of my first love,15 years ago, that I still can not forget!
I'm named after this song
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.
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)
Where can I find the music book of this song? Really wanna learn to play it.
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!
this is the best song in the world so who doesnt think that is a retated person os thats all i got to say!!!!!!!!!!!!
who ever ew is is a retarted person dont insolt ray so if u dont like him u can kiss his butt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ray charles rocks!!!!!!!!!!!
ray charles rocks!!!!!!!!!!!
ray charles rocks!!!!!!!!!!!
ray charles rocks!!!!!!!!!!!
RAY CHARLES IZ DA #1 BEST BLIND piano player in the worlD!!
**DON'T LEAVE OUT STEVIE WONDER**
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.
Ray Charles is one of the best ever , my whole life ive listened and loved ray
i am a musican in a piano bar. & i realy love this song. it gave's me a plesure. i don't know Y .this song is my No 1 fev...in my showe .i think i'll go 2 Goergea same day cose of this song !U never know.wish me luck
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.
Amazing song, one of the best ever. Found it through tommy emmanuels instrumental version, and Im so glad I found it :)
i love you papi ryr
Have you guys heard 'Hit the Road Jack'? It is also by Ray Charles
I haven't ever heard a bad version,
but my favorite is by Jerry Reed!!
His guitar work on this one is awsome!!
charles is the best
god, I just love this song. Amazing fun song to play on the piano.
c'est une chanson magnifique...
Ray Charles is awesome
I was not named after this song
This is a song that never gets old
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.
gay pple
here is something fun to do - go to grooveshark.com or similar free music site and type in david bromberg in the search field and then select and play his instrumental of georgia - get a copy of the lyrics and you have your own karaoke! now, advanced singers, try to sing it differently than ray!!!
What song best describes a tennis match between Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder?
"Endless Love"
Georgia Imba
hi-hi
this song is beautiful :) <3 x
This song truly reminds me to always believe in oneself.It reminds me of how it is to lose oneself within the noise of the world.Mr charles was mislead in a way or two for a period in his life but more importantly he never lost that beautiful gift of himself and the most gracious gift of all, our memories and how that added to our lives.what is even cooler he is affecting a whole new generation of people I find it so very distasteful that it took till 1974 to stop banning Mr.Ray Charles music.Some one must have had a ahaaaah haaaa moment when they finally made Georgia On My Mind the state song!!!!!!!!!!!!!God Bless you I would also love to Thank Jamie Fox for doing such an excellent job in the movie! thank you for sharing your beautiful souls.May god continue to bless your families.THANKYOU
We have this beautiful song playing on our website which reflects remodeling and building on Georgia's beautiful coast.The song will definitely make you tarry as you browse the website.Here's to Ray Charles!
how do we listen to the song
Georgia on my is the best pop song i ever listen,so i would like to tank RAY CHARLES and i will listen to this song again and again in my life time.
im luving this song darl ray. you are so cool :)
freggin awesome song
ew. shut up dis is a good song
Beautiful composition and well sang by the
Late Mr. Ray Charles, may he rest in peace
he was the best ever I wish he was still alive
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.
Someone who said that noone can ever sing that song like Ray Charles did, should, (if they haven't done so already), check out the footage, I think from a Finnish TV station in the mid 60's, of the Spencer Davis Group.
Steve Winwood modelled his vocals on Ray Charles and the R C version of Georgia On My Mind inspired him to sing in that way, to the point where a lot of people, especially in America thought Winwood was black.
If there is one prime example of matching up to Ray Charles's version, it's the Spencer Davis Group version.
Steve Winwood gave excellent tribute to a legend at the time and since then is now a legend himself.
Black Blues singers more than made a mark on musics history, right back to people like Robert Johnson and Blind Blake and as in the prime case of Ray Charles, their legacy and influence should never be forgotten.
I love the blues ... and I love Ray Charles. Thank God for both.
you spelled insult wrong girlfriend whatever your name is
riqsn3efgherwousgfvdgchdghdwtgietwtdwddijhs uefou `uwsd uw uq qw' uwoqq uuehq'ue yrey oqwr'er
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.
i wached the movie ray i think there should have been more music parts and less drug parts but i love gorgia and i knew that he didn''t write the song but it's a good song any way and i don't think anyone shouod care who wrote it if any body has a diffrent apinoin they can emial me at tgray@mvmsfalcons.com
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?
Great cover. Hoagy Carmichael wrote a great song and Ray Charles made it his.
Ray your #1 but R.I.P you too love you ray #1 and always will be
I'm oing this on my report of state ,Georgia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
I said Georgia
ooh Georgia no peace
I find just an old song keeps
Georgia on my mind
Ray Charles is a legend at a time for many of us,
and no one can ever sing cool song like him. then now i listen to his song and become legend to my self.
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.
I REALLY LIKR DIS SONG PPL ITS REMINDS ME OF MA MAN MICHAEL DAYI
I really like this song its awesome
Ray Charles performed this song well but he did not write this song. The words were written by Stuart Gorrell.
And the Music was written by Hoagy Carmichael. Hoagy has written so many beautiful music peices like, Stardust and the Nearness of You. Words by Ned Washington.
Every man got his own Georgia(...or Georgio ;) ) on his mind

great song love singing it
One of the best songs that wee 'll can ever hear. A sad story of black people.
Quoting Claudette Robinet from France:"A sad story of black people."
WHAT? HUH? This song is universal and has nothing to do with whether you're black brown purple or green. I don't even see where one would conclude that sentiment from the lyrics. Maybe there is a language barrier as I see you are from France?
I heard some one singing this at Ashland Oregon park to the tune of Ray, it stayed in my head for days. I just love it!
Every time that I listen this song each one of my senses explodes. Thanks Ray
great song, really!
wooww i love this song. just yesterday my boyfriend showed this song to me and said it showed how he felt about me.. but beyond that we both agree this song is amazing and brings our minds at ease.. kinda like a vacation from the music of today :)
Omg!!!!love this song
Ruben Rada Version Also
Simply a beautiful song
What a beautiful song, It really conveys the image of what he was going through.
Amazing, Great Song!
asum
Never cared a lot for my first name but this song has always made it more desirable. lol The song was probably written about the state..a place. But I like to think of it being a person:-)
i like this song
Reggins lovin
i love this song version jen hirsch from american idol :D
These are not the original lyrics from Ray Charles's Singular Genius recording sessions. They should be:
Georgia, Georgia
The whole day through (the whole day through)
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind)
I said-a Georgia, Georgia
A song of you (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, oh Georgia
No peace I find (No peace I find)
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind (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
Woah Georgia, Georgia
No peace, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind)
I said just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
I love this song
i'm a big fan of yours
deandre gave justice to this song!
love it!!
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.
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.
speachless
This is such a great song, but I really just wish that it would be a couple lines longer.*sigh*
This song wasn't written or originaly done by Ray Charles. Hogie did it first. and the Great Sachmo coverd it way before Charles.
this is the best song ever, go geogia
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I love this song! The jazz band at my school played it and it is amazing. I personally love the Gerald Albright version on the saxophone...
siradze
Georgia by Ray Charles is fab. But I think Willie Nelsons version is better.
ray may not be the origional composer but he sure can sang the hell out of this song like no other, hats off to you ray cuz u sho got some haters
oh man! i love this song! This was my childhood right here! brings back good memories of my grandparents and warm August days.
Brilliant song Ray
i was born in georgia and u'r song rocks
I love this song from the inovator of soul music n jazz... Ray charles....it makes me cry n also thank God for all the good times n bad times too..... I love the violins...infact the orchetra n background vocals... They all speak life. Its indeed a masterpiece. It heals d heart and help one go through difficult time...... Am a Nigerian and a fan of Ray Charlesl..... Drowning in my own tears......
Ray Charles is so awesome.
P.S. he never wrote it he just sang it.
There will never be another man with this much soul...
dont print this ok !!!!!
this comes in handy! this song will live on forever. Ray Charles was one of the best. :)
Juste magnifique....
une vraie perle..
My daughters name is Georgia, and i sang it to her while she was still in the tummy!
I sang this song for a girl... she's my wife now.
i like it
you suck
SOA My love
<(
I LIKE YOUR SONGS
Just got rejected by the girl I love the only song I can think of that can explain my mood
this is the georgia state song
I'm just looking at this because of a school assignment, but it is a good song. :P
This was one of my mum's favourite songs, and It was played at her funeral, it's my favourite song ever - I've sung it myself countless times.
I've heard one theory that Hoagy Carmichael had a housekeeper called Georgia, and it was about her, another that is about the state of Georgia.
Whatever it's about, for me, the song is about the pain, and sweetness of longing for something that has long past, a place, a person, whatever it may be, it is about the sentiments we feel for things long gone from us - it is a beautiful song, and will always be played and performed.
Great song, l love Georgia and miss my friends from Atlanta :(
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!
I'm from Russia, the Far East, and the song for me as a native. best performance, lyrics, music.
I HADE RAY CHARLES!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(
Ray Charles did not write this song!
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).
