(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...
