Sentimental gentleman from Georgia, Georgia,
Gentle to the ladies all the time!
When it comes to lovin' he's a real professor, yessir!
Just a Mason Dixon Valentine.
Oh see those Georgia peaches
Hangin' round him now,
'Cause what this baby teaches,
Nobody just knows how!
Oh, sentimental gentleman from Georgia, Georgia,
Gentle to the ladies all the time!
Hey hey, no doubt,
You were about
The sweetest man in Dixieland!
I'll say he's hot,
He's got just what
It takes to make a lady smile!
He's just a sentimental gentleman from Georgia, Georgia,
Gentle to the ladies all the time, he's gentle to the ladies all the time!
When it comes to lovin' he's a real professor, yessir!
Just a Mason Dixon Valentine, Valentine.
Sentimental gentleman from Georgia, yowzah yowzah!
Georgia Georgia, yowzah yowzah, Georgia,
He's gentle to the ladies all the time!
When it comes to lovin', there's not a thing that he don't know,
I'm talkin' about that man from Georgia!
(scat)
Sentimental gentleman from Georgia, yowzah yowzah!
Georgia Georgia, yowzah yowzah, Georgia, (scat)
I'm talkin' about that man from Georgia!
