John Brown Back, back, back to Galicia (forget about back in the USSR) ... From Wiki: "In 1918, Western Galicia became a part of the restored Republic of Poland, which absorbed the Lemko-Rusyn Republic. The local Ukrainian population briefly declared the independence of Eastern Galicia as the 'West Ukrainian People's Republic'. During the Polish-Soviet War the Soviets tried to establish the puppet-state of the Galician SSR in East Galicia, the government of which after couple of months was liquidated.
The fate of Galicia was settled by the Peace of Riga on March 18, 1921, attributing Galicia to the Second Polish Republic. Although never accepted as legitimate by some Ukrainians, it was internationally recognized on May 15, 1923.[18]"

They leave the West behind

And Moscow girls make me sing and shout

That Georgia's always on my mind

Aw come on!

Ho yeah!

Ho yeah!

Ho ho yeah!

They leave the West behind

And Moscow girls make me sing and shout

That Georgia's always on my mind

Oh, show me around your snow-peaked mountains way down south

Take me to your daddy's farm

Let me hear your balalaika's ringing out

Come and keep your comrade warm

I'm back in the U.S.S.R.

Hey you don't know how lucky you are boys

Back in the U.S.S.R.

Oh let me tell you, honey

Hey, I'm back!
