Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia Lyrics - Lynn Anderson

On his way his way home from Candletop 

Been two weeks gone and he thought he'd stop 

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

Andy Wolo said hello he said hi what's a doin' Wo 

Says sit down I got some bad news that'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 

He got mad and he saw red and Andy said boy don't you lose your head 

Cause 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 

Don't you trust your soul to no backwoods southern lawyer 

Cause the judge and the town's got bloodstains on his hands

Well Andy got scared and left the bar walkin' on home cause he didn't live far 

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

My brother thought his wife must've left town 

So he went home and finally found the only thing papa had left up 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 backporch door 

And he saw Andy lyin' on the floor in a puddle of blood and he started to shake 

But Georgia patrol was makin' their rounds and he fired a shot just to flag 'em down 

And a big bellied sheriff grabbed his gun and said why'd you do it 

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...

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

To Andy's house out back that night were mine 

His cheatin' wife had never left town that's one body that'll never be found 

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

Oh that's the night that the lights went out in Georgia... 

Oh that's the night that the lights went out in Georgia...
