 WHEN… I WANT TO BE IN GEORGIA?            ( Poem can be a song, to the tune of,

                                                                                      Deep In The Heart Of Texas)    

                                                     When nature gloats,                                                   

                                                      In autumn’s coats,

                                                                                                       

                                                       And scarecrows wink,

                                                                                                

                                                      As birds’ plans sink!

 

                                                              Ooooooo!

                                                I  WANT TO BE IN GEORGIA!

 

                                                       When sorghum cooks,

                                                         Around the bend,

 

                                                        And apple-fritters,

                                                       Temptations send!

                                                                                                                     

                                                             Ooooooo!

                                                I WANT TO BE IN GEORGIA!

                                                     When the air is crisp,

                                                    And the winds us frisk,

 

                                                  When leaves come down,                                                            

                                                           And pumpkins frown!

 

                                                                    Ooooooo!

                                                    I WANT TO BE IN GEORGIA!

                                                             When the fair is there,

 

 

With the vendors’ wares,

 

 

 

And the big crowds stay,

To hear fiddlers play!

 

Ooooooo!

I WANT TO BE IN GEORGIA!

 

When the corn is picked,

And the hay is rolled,  

 

When we hold our breath,

Beauty to behold!

 

Ooooooo!

I WANT TO BE IN GEORGIA!
