Sweet Georgia Brown
Sarah Vaughan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No gal made has got a shade on sweet Georgia brown
Two left feet but oh-so neat has sweet Georgia brown
They all sigh and want to die for sweet Georgia brown
I'll tell you why; you know I don't lie much

It's been said she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town
Since she came, why, it's a shame how she coos 'em down
Fellers she can't get are fellers she ain't met
Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her
