Georgia on My MindJerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Hoagy Carmichael Stuart Gorrell

Producer: Jerry Kennedy

Georgia, hey Georgia
No peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Hey, hey, Georgia

Georgia, ah, Georgia
Woman a song of you
It comes sweet and clear as moonlight
Drifting through the pines

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
But still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

Hey Georgia, God knows, I love you Georgia
No peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

Jerry Lee Lewis

Jerry Lee Lewis was a leading figure in the popularization of rock & roll during the 1950s. He was first signed to Sun Records in 1956 where he was labelmates with Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and other early rock artists. Of those musicians, however, he was the only piano player and combined with his heavy-handed playing style, sexually suggestive lyrics, and provocative stage antics he came to epitomize the rebelliousness of the genre.

He rose to international fame for his 1957 versions of the songs “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.”

Lewis' popularity rapidly tumbled, however, when in 1958, when at the age of 22, he married his 13-year-old cousin. Though this scandal continued to tarnish his image, Lewis never retired from music. As of October 2015, he continues to perform live.
