I'M GOING HOME TO GEORGIA (Lisa Null)
Sung by Sally Rogers
"Lisa Null is known mostly for her marvelous renditions of obscure versions of English language ballads and songs and for her earlier involvement with the Green Linnet Record Company. Unbenounced to many, she is also a wonderful song writer. Here's a sample."
My body is tired, my spirit is burned,
I’m going home to Georgia
My poor heart is aching with all I have seen,
I’m going home to Georgia
Sing me a song, set my spirit at rest
You know all the tunes I love best
Maybe it'll lighten this weight on my chest
I'm going home to Georgia.
In all of my travels and all I have seen
I’m going home to Georgia
It's none of your business just where I have been
I’m going home to Georgia
Pour me a drink that will settle my thirst
You always knew what I loved best
Maybe it'll dampen this pain in my chest.
I’m going home to Georgia
I've brought you a secret as true as a rose
I’m going home to Georgia
The more tarnished it gets, still the brighter it grows
I’m going home to Georgia
In all of my wandering I could never forget
You were the one I loved best
Lay yourself down, put your head on my breast
I’m going home to Georgia.
