Georgia, sweet sweet Georgia keeps pulling on my ring

Most men would give their right off or anything they own
To have a woman just like you to be waitin' when they come home
But the devil made me cheat on you one too many times
And honey, I'm sorry but she left heaven on my mind

Georgia, sweet Georgia keeps pulling on my ring
I need her and I love her, Lord, she's a sweet and precious thing
Her sweet and easy loving, Lord, beats all I've ever seen
Georgia, sweet sweet Georgia keeps pulling on my ring

I didn't wanna fall in love with anybody else
But when I tasted heaven, Lord, I just couldn't help myself
I pray someday that you'll forget and forgive me for all these things
I just can't seem to love you with Georgia pulling on my ring

Georgia, sweet Georgia
