Lyrics: The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia by Reba McEntire
He was on his way home from Candletop
Been two weeks gone and he thought heโd stop
At Webโs and have him a drink for he went home to her
Andy Wo-Lo said hello
He said โHi whatโs newโ
And Wo said โSit down I got some bad news thatโs gonna hurtโ
Said Iโm your best friend and you know thatโs right
But your young bride ainโt home tonight
Since you been gone sheโs been seeing that Amos boy Seth
Now, he got mad and he saw red
Andy said boy donโt you lose your head
โCause to tell you the truth Iโve been with her myself
Thatโs the night that the lights went out in Georgia
Thatโs the night that they hung an innocent man
Well, donโt trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
Cause the judge in the townโs got bloodstains on his hands
Andy got scared and left the bar
Walkinโ on home cause he didnโt live far you see
Andy didnโt have many friends and he just lost him one
Brother thought his wife mustโve left town
So he went home and finally found the only thing
Daddy had left him and that was a gun
He went off to Andyโs house
Slipping 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 lyinโ on the floor
In a puddle of blood and he started to shake
Georgia patrol was making their rounds
So he fired a shot just to flag em down
A big bellied sheriff grabbed his gun and said
โWhyโd you do it?โ
The judge said guilty on a make-believe trial
Slapped the sheriff on the back with a smile
Said supperโs waitinโ at home and I gotta get to it
Thatโs the night the lights went out in Georgia
Thatโs the night that they hung an innocent man
Well, donโt trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
Cause the judge in the townโs got bloodstains on his hands
Well, they hung my brother before I could say
The tracks he saw while on his way
To Andyโs house and back that night were mine
And his cheatinโ wife had never left town
Thatโs one body thatโll never be found
You see little sister donโt miss when she aims her gun
Thatโs the night the lights went out in Georgia
Thatโs the night that they hung an innocent man
Well, donโt trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
Cause the judge in the townโs got bloodstains on his hands
Thatโs the night the lights went out in Georgia
Thatโs the night that they hung an innocent man
Well, donโt trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
Cause the judge in the townโs got bloodstains on his hands
