When it's springtime down in Georgia

It's winter time up in Maine

You can go from snow to sunshine

If you board a southbound train

You get used to taking orders

But it's sometimes kind of rough

I got everything that a man could need

But it still ain't quite enough



Taking about oh Georgia take me to your Southlands

I sometimes feel my life is rolling on

Oh Georgia lead me through your heartlands

I need to see them one more time before I'm gone



When it's nighttime down in Georgia

It's daytime in L.A.

Where they never seem to do much

But they sure got lots to say

The times are changing down in Georgia

Though not always for the best

Give me thirty five good acres lord

And let progress take the rest



Talking about oh Georgia take me to your Southlands

I sometimes feel that life is rolling on

Oh Georgia lead me through your heartlands

I need to see them one more time before they're gone



Oh Georgia take me to your Southlands

I sometimes feel that life has passed me by

Oh Georgia lead me through your heartlands

I need to see them one more time before I die
