If any one should ask you where the sweet
magnolias grow, say, "Way down south in Georgia."

If any one should ask you where the birds sing
soft and low, say, "Way down south in Georgia."

My heart is aching, breaking, and it keeps on
telling me to hop upon a train right quick--
that's goin' to carry me to...

Georgia Land, oh, Georgia Land, gee, I feel great when I say
I'm from the state where my Daddy and my Mammy, Uncle Joe,
and Cousin Sammy and little sweetheart Kate all wait for me.

In the land I want to be, I'll never rest from morn
till night. I'll never know that I'm all right till they
carry me back to Georgia Land.


I just received a letter from that little gal of mine away down
south in Georgia. She wrote and told me, "Come home, hon.
We miss you all the time away down south in Georgia."

I can see a cottage with a "Welcome" on the mat.
Excuse me just a minute while I get my coat and hat.
