[Verse 1]
Walked into a motel diner
Looked around to find a place
But the room was mighty crowded
Then I saw an empty place

[Verse 2]
Sittin' down across the table
Looked into a friendly face
Started up on making small talk
Then we moved into my place

[Chorus]
Sweet lady from Georgia
Oh my, what a shame
Sweet lady from Georgia
And I didn’t even know her name
Didn't even know her name

[Verse 3]
Driving down the dusty highway
Couldn't get her off my mind
Didn’t even get her number
So we can meet another time

[Chorus]
Sweet lady from Georgia
Oh my, what a shame
Sweet lady from Georgia
And I didn't even know her name
Didn't even know her name
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Sweet lady from Georgia
Oh my, what a shame
Sweet lady from Georgia
And I didn't even know her name

[Outro]
Sweet lady from Georgia
Oh my, what a shame
Sweet lady from Georgia
And I didn't even know her name
Didn't even know her name
