The Georgia Girl.
With fresh and charming manner.
Quite delightful to behold =
Full of fine and jolly nonsense.
Ever gay, but never bold. 81
On the go each blessed moment
In an everlasting whirL
Is the chic and cherry maiden
Whom we call the Georgia Girl"
With dialect delicious
In its soft sweet southern way,
Like true born Georgia cracker
''Fo de wah." they used to saw
Like old plantation melodies
From sOuthland'S sunny Cline
Is the music of her merry voice.
On board the Anchor line.
She can sing and she can whistle
Like robin in the spring,
She can talk an arm right off YOU,
This charming little thing.
She's little rebel to the heart
And defiance she can hurl
But We like her independence,
So God bless the Georgia Girlr

wheel electric car. From the top we had
a view of Mount Blanc and surrounding

glistening ice and snow, with great white
peaks around it. The valleys below us
were filled with clouds of mists, which
