Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I saw her cry today because he went away

Such a heavy price to pay, Sweet Georgia

[Verse 2]

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 wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown

(I'll tell you just why) I'll tell you just why

(You know I don't lie) You know I don't lie

[Verse 3]

It's been said she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town

(Yeah, babe) (Yeah, baby)

People still don't know the arrow, Georgia Brown

As you can bet (Yeah), she's got stuff that you can't get get (La-di-da)

Georgia named her, Georgia claimed her, Sweet Georgia

[Verse 4]

(Sweet)

(Sweet)

[Verse 5]

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh

(Georgia babe) Georgie babe

(Georgia babe)

(Georgia babe) Georgie baby

(Georgia baby)

[Verse 6]

Oh, I saw her cry today (I saw her cry)

Because he went away

Such a heavy price to pay

Sweet Georgia (Georgia)

[Verse 7]

(Sweet)

(Sweet)

How you so sweet?

(Sweet)

(Sweet)

[Verse 8]

I'll tell you no lie (Georgia babe)

(Georgia babe)

Tell you no lie

(Georgia babe) Georgie babe

(Georgia baby) Woo

(Georgia babe)

(Georgia babe)

(Georgia babe)

Baby, tell you no lie (Georgia baby)

(Georgia babe)

Oh, yeah (Georgia babe)

[Verse 9]

(Georgia babe) Georgie baby

(Georgia baby)

(Georgia babe) Ah, ha, ha

(Georgia babe) Baby, tell you no lie

(Georgia babe)

(Georgia baby)

(Georgia babe) Woo

(Georgia babe)

(Georgia babe)
