The Night the Lights Went Out In Geogia
Vicki Lawrence
(Written by: Bobby Russell)
He was on his way home from Candletop
Been two weeks gone and he thought he'd stop
At Williams and have him a drink 'fore he went home to her
Andy Wolloe said Hello
And he said Hi, whats doin, Wo?
Seth, sit down, I got some bad news, its gonna hurt
He said Im your best friend and you know thats right
But your young bride aint home tonight
Since you been gone shes been seein that Amos boy, Seth
Well, he got mad n he saw red and Andy said Boy, dontcha lose your head
cause to tell ya the truth, I been with her myself
Thats the night that the lights went out in Georgia
Thats the night that they hung an innocent man
Well, dont trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
cause the judge in the towns got bloodstains on his hands
Well, Andy got scared and left the bar
Walkin on home cause he didnt live far
See, Andy didnt have many friends and hed just lost him one
Brother thought his wife musta left town
So he went home and finally found
The only thing Papa had left him, that was a gun
And he went off to Andys house
Askippin 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 amakin their rounds
So he fired a shot just to flag em down
And a big-bellied sheriff got his gun and said whydya do it?
And the judge said Guilty in a make-believe trial
And slapped the sheriff on the back with a smile
Said suppers waitin at home and I gotta get to it
Thats the night that the lights went out in Georgia
Thats the night that they hung an innocent man
Well, dont trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
cause the judge in the towns got bloodstains on his hands
Well, they hung my brother before I could say
The tracks he saw while on his way
To Andys house and back that night were mine
And his cheatin wife had never left town
And thats one body thatll never be found
See, little sister dont miss when she aims her gun
Thats the night that the lights went out in Georgia, oh-oh-aah
Thats the night that they hung an innocent man, ah-huh-unh
Well, dont trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
cause the judge in the towns got bloodstains on his hands
