'Way down in Georgia
where the cotton blossoms bloom,
That is where my little lady love does dwell,
I'm goin' to take a trip to see her very soon,
And my love for her I surely will tell;
Ev'ry evening when the stars
are peeping thro' the sky,
My babe and I will promenade
with heads held high;
And all the coons at us
would throw the "banjo eye"
But we'd only smile
and say "brush by."

Oh! Mazie
When she is dancing,
sets them crazy,
With her prancing,
when she starts the glide
with her graceful stride,
How the envy of those darkies
swells my heart with pride,
At the "mobile" or "Turkey Trot"
She's always on time,
right on the spot,
and I shall see her soon,
This little seal brown coon,
My Georgia lady
from the sunny South.

Oh! Mazie
When she is dancing,
sets them crazy,
With her prancing,
when she starts the glide
with her graceful stride,
How the envy of those darkies
swells my heart with pride,
At the "mobile" or "Turkey Trot"
She's always on time,
right on the spot,
and I shall see her soon,
This little seal brown coon,
My Georgia lady
from the sunny South.

Now when the Spring time comes
on some bright sunny day,
I will take this dusky lady by my side,
And to the parson I'll go,
feeling mighty gay,
Just to make this precious lady my bride;
And when the sermon's over
and for home we'd start,
There will be a load
a lifted off this darkey's heart;
'Cause from this dream of loveliness
I'll never part,
And for miles around
you'll hear them say:

Oh! Mazie
When she is dancing,
sets them crazy,
With her prancing,
when she starts the glide
with her graceful stride,
How the envy of those darkies
swells my heart with pride,
At the "mobile" or "Turkey Trot"
She's always on time,
right on the spot,
and I shall see her soon,
This little seal brown coon,
My Georgia lady
from the sunny South.

Oh! Mazie
When she is dancing,
sets them crazy,
With her prancing,
when she starts the glide
with her graceful stride,
How the envy of those darkies
swells my heart with pride,
At the "mobile" or "Turkey Trot"
She's always on time,
right on the spot,
and I shall see her soon,
This little seal brown coon,
My Georgia lady
from the sunny South.
