Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through
There's that old sweet song that keeps you, Georgia, on my mind.
Oh, Georgia, mmm, Georgia, a song of you
Comes as sweet and clear just like moonlight through the pines.
And other eyes have smiles tenderly
But still in peaceful dreams I see
That the road, the road leads back to you.
Oh hey, Georgia, ooh, Georgia, no peace, no peace I find
And there's still this old sweet song that keeps you, Georgia, on my mind
There’s that old sweet song that keeps you, Georgia, on my mind
That keeps you, Georgia, on my mind.

Eu tinha uma gravação em K7 com essa música quando era adolescente. Coisa de craque! Curioso que até hoje não ouvi ela remasterizada... Mas que beleza mesmo assim!!!❤

Que música mais sinistra! E que versão inimitável! Eu a escutei pela primeira vez há mais de 25 anos, pela JB FM. Assim que ela começou a ser tocada, eu correi e liguei o gravador cassete. Passei a escutá-la de vez em quando até que, um fatídico dia, meu filho ainda novo, usou a fita para gravar alguma coisa, apagando-a para sempre! O pior é que eu não me lembrava nem do nome direito do artista. Só sabia que seria um tal de David Bro.... qualquer coisa, rs, rs, rs. Agora com a internet...
