Lyrics The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia

He was on his way home from Candletop

Been two weeks gone and he'd thought he'd stop

At Webb's and have him a drink 'fore he went home to her

Andy Wolloe said Hello

And he said Hi what's doin' Wo

Said Sit down

I got some bad news

It's gonna hurt

Said I'm your best friend and you know that's right but your young bride ain't home tonight

Since you been gone she's been seein' that Amos boy Seth

Well he got mad and he saw red

And Andy said Boy don't you lose your head

'Cos to tell you the truth

I've been with her myself

That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia

That's the night that they hung an innocent man

Well don't trust your soul to no backwoods southern lawyer 'cos the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands

Well Andy got scared and left the bar

Walkin' on home 'cos he didn't live far

See Andy didn't have many friends and he just lost him one

Brother thought his wife must've left town so he went home and finally found

The only thing Papa had left him and that was a gun

Then he went off to Andy's house

Slippin' through the backwoods quiet as a mouse

Came upon some tracks too small for Andy to make

He looked through the screen at the back porch door and he saw Andy lyin' on the floor

In a puddle of blood and he started to shake

Well the Georgia patrol was makin' their rounds so he fired a shot just to flag them down

And a big-bellied sheriff grabbed his gun and said

Why'd you do it

And the judge said Guilty in a make-believe trial

Slapped the sheriff on the back with a smile

Said Supper's waitin' at home and I gotta get to it

That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia

That's the night that they hung an innocent man

Well don't trust your soul to no backwoods southern lawyer 'cos the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands

Well they hung my brother before I could say the tracks he saw while on his way

To Andy's house and back that night were mine

And his cheatin' wife had never left town

And that's one body that'll never be found

See little sister don't miss when she aims her gun

That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia

That's the night that they hung an innocent man

Well don't trust your soul to no backwoods southern lawyer 'cos the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands
