I Want You Georgia 1916

He was far away from "Home Sweet Home"
He longed to roam
among the pines
of dear old Georgia,
she was waiting
for his coming too,
for he had written
to his sweetheart, true.

I want you Georgia
my own sweet Georgia
I want to hear
your voice once more,
I see you standing
there on the landing
as I come sailing
to that good old Georgia shore.
In the gloaming
we'll go roaming down
in old Lover's Lane,
while the whippoorwill
upon the hill sings
his sweet refrain
Oh, I'm so lonely
for you my only
that's why I'm coming
back to my old Georgia home.

I want you Georgia
my own sweet Georgia
I want to hear
your voice once more,
I see you standing
there on the landing
as I come sailing
to that good old Georgia shore.
In the gloaming
we'll go roaming down
in old Lover's Lane,
while the whippoorwill
upon the hill sings
his sweet refrain
Oh, I'm so lonely
for you my only
that's why I'm coming
back to my old Georgia home.

Silv'ry stars were shining
on the tide,
when then she spied
a good ship sailing
t'ward the landing
it was bringing home
her darling boy,
and she could hear him
sing this song with joy.

I want you Georgia
my own sweet Georgia
I want to hear
your voice once more,
I see you standing
there on the landing
as I come sailing
to that good old Georgia shore.
In the gloaming
we'll go roaming down
in old Lover's Lane,
while the whippoorwill
upon the hill sings
his sweet refrain
Oh, I'm so lonely
for you my only
that's why I'm coming
back to my old Georgia home.

I want you Georgia
my own sweet Georgia
I want to hear
your voice once more,
I see you standing
there on the landing
as I come sailing
to that good old Georgia shore.
In the gloaming
we'll go roaming down
in old Lover's Lane,
while the whippoorwill
upon the hill sings
his sweet refrain
Oh, I'm so lonely
for you my only
that's why I'm coming
back to my old Georgia home.
