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
