The Georgia State Waltz

Our Georgia

words and music by James Burch

    It’s a grand old state our Georgia
    Where the Swanee River flows
    A bit of God’s own heaven
    As everybody knows
    And when I go roaming
    A longing fills my breast
    A song there comes from out my heart
    For the state I love the best.

The Georgia state waltz was adopted by the Georgia General Assembly in 1951.
