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
