Georgia Moon Songtext
von Peter Skellern

Some time ago I was saying hello
To a new life I thought I could make
Somehow it seems they were far away dreams
That took me along in their wake
And all I can think of is time that was spent
On a dusty old river and all that it meant
She was no beauty that rusty old queen
She lived in the past and the things that had been
And she stole my heart away
And won′t there be laughter when Cephas G. Smith hits the bay?

Oh, Georgia moon
Lie on your back with the sun in your eyes
Oh, Georgia moon
I guess I'll be coming but don′ts make me home too soon


Tell me old river is Georgia still with ya?
Does she still reside on your bank?
That old paddle steamer was once with a dreamer
Who lost all he had on a jack
I wasn't unfaithful, wasn't untrue
I want you to know it was all for you
Is she still courting that same river bank
Where the Virgil B. Thomas got tired and just sank
Like a soul that drifted away?
And won′t there be laughter when Cephas G. Smith hits the bay?

Oh, Georgia moon
Lie on your back with the sun in your eyes
Oh, Georgia moon
I guess I′ll be coming but don'ts make me home too soon

Driftwood still follows the tide as it flows
Bees still are humming on river bank roads
And Georgia moon greets the day
And won′t there be laughter when Cephas G. Smith hits the bay?

Oh, Georgia moon
Lie on your back with the sun in your eyes
Oh, Georgia moon
I guess I'll be coming but don′ts make me home too soon
Oh, Georgia moon
Lie on your back with the sun in your eyes
Oh, Georgia moon
I guess I'll be coming but don′ts make me home too soon
