Lynn Anderson Night the Lights Went out in Georgia Lyrics:
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...
