Lyrics[]

I came into the harbor at Boston
Young and wild and free
And I made my way down the countryside.
What's become of me?
Savannah, Georgia
Savannah, Georgia
Savannah, Georgia opened up her arms.
Savannah, Georgia
Savannah, Georgia
Savannah, Georgia opened her arms up wide.

The corn was tall
The corn was tall
The corn was tall.
The wind was hard
The wind was hard
The wind was hard.

Savannah, Georgia
Savannah, Georgia
Savannah, Georgia opened up her arms.
Savannah, Georgia
Savannah, Georgia
Savannah, Georgia opened her arms up wide.

When i was creeping
When i was creeping
When i was creeping
Robert E. Lee broke his musket on his knee
And a thousand pieces shattered on the ground
But he got up quick
He gathered up his men
And from his lips there came an awful sound.
Savannah, Georgia
Savannah, Georgia
Savannah, Georgia opened up her arms.
Savannah, Georgia
Savannah, Georgia
Savannah, Georgia opened her arms up wide.
