Georgia, Georgia
The whole day through
Just an old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia On My Mind
Georgia On My Mind
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
Georgia, Georgia
No peace I find
Just an old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia On My Mind

"Georgia on My Mind" is a 1930 song written by Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell, and first recorded that same year by Carmichael at the RCA Victor Studios at 155 East 24th Street in New York City. The song has been most often associated with singer Ray Charles, who was a native of the U.S. state of Georgia in The South of the United States, and recorded it for his 1960 album The Genius Hits the Road.

In 1979, the State of Georgia through its General Assembly of Georgia (state legislature), designated Charles' version the official state song.[2][3] The song has become part of the Great American Songbook tradition.[4][5]

"Georgia on My Mind" has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame twice. The first induction was in 1993 for the 1960 recording on the ABC-Paramount label by Charles. The second induction happened in 2014 for the earlier 1930 recording on the RCA Victor label by Carmichael and His Orchestra.[6]

The original 1930 composition will enter the American public domain on January 1, 2026.[a]

Background and original recording
It has been asserted by some that composer Hoagy Carmichael wrote the song about his sister named Georgia.[7][8] However, Carmichael wrote in his second published autobiography / memoirs Sometimes I Wonder (1976), that saxophonist Frankie Trumbauer told him he should write a song about the state of Georgia. Trumbauer jokingly volunteered the first two words, "Georgia, Georgia...", which Carmichael ended up using while working later on the song with his roommate, Stuart Gorrell. Gorrell, who wrote the lyrics, stated, however, that he wrote the lyrics about Carmichael’s sister.[4][9] Gorrell's name was absent from the copyright application papers submitted to the U.S. Copyright Office, but Carmichael sent him royalty checks afterwards anyway.[4]

Carmichael first recorded "Georgia on My Mind", with Bix Beiderbecke on cornet, in New York City on September 15, 1930.[4]
