Thank you, my friend SGT (Join to see) for sharing the audio track of Hoagy Carmichael & His Orchestra performing Georgia (On My Mind)
Written in 1930 by Hoagy Carmichael (music) and Stuart Gorrell (lyrics)
Gorrell wrote the lyrics for Hoagy's sister, Georgia Carmichael. However, the lyrics of the song are ambiguous enough to refer either to the state or to a woman named "Georgia"
"Bix Beiderbecke (c); Ray Lodwig (tp); Jack Teagarden, Boyce Cullen (tb); Jimmy Dorsey (cl/as); ‘Bud’ Freeman (ts); ‘Pee Wee’ Russell (as); Irving Brodsky (p); Joe Venuti (vln); Eddie Lang (g); Min Leibrook (bsx); Chauncey Morehouse (dm); Hoagy Carmichael (voc). New York, September 15, 1930.
solos : Carmichael, voc (30) – Venuti (2) – Lodwig (16) – Venuti (8) – Teagarden (6) – Bix, derby mute (10).
The pictures show Georgia Carmichael, Hoagy's sister, although the song is not about her but about the State of Georgia.."
Here is a clearer recording

Georgia On My Mind
words by Stuart Gorrell and music by Hoagy Carmichael
Lyrics
"Melodies bring memories
That linger in my heart
Make me think of Georgia
Why did we ever part?
Some sweet day when blossoms fall
And all the world's a song
I'll go back to Georgia
'Cause that's where I belong.
Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind.
Georgia, Georgia, a song of you
Comes as sweet and clear as moonlight through the pines.
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you.
Georgia, Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind."
