(Sammi Smith)



The birds are all singing there's not a cloud in the sky

The children are laughing turning brown in the sunshine

But it's bitter and cold through my eyes

The ice-cream wagon it still makes its rounds every day

But Jimmy's in Georgia and he took my summer away.



I walk through these rooms that are empty and cold since he's gone

Yesterday's laugher has vanished with yesterday's song

Seems like the whole world and everything I know's gone wrong

'Cause Jimmy's in Georgia and I'm all alone.



Last night he held me for the last time and then said goodbye

And I put my love in his pocket to try not to cry

Tomorrow daybreak I'll wake and try to go on

Knowin' Jimmy's in Georgia with her that's where he belongs...
