The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia Lyrics - The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia: The Complete Bell Recordings - Vicki Lawrence

He was on his way home from Candletop 

Been two weeks gone and he thought he'd stop 

At Web's and have him a drink for he went home to her 

Andy Wo-Lo said hello 

He said "Hi what's new" 

And Wo said "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 seeing that Amos boy Seth 

Now he got mad and he saw red 

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 

Well Don't trust your soul to no back woods Southern lawyer 

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

Andy got scared and left the bar 

Walking on home cause he didn't live far you 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 

Daddy had left him and that was a gun 

He went off to Andy's house 

Slipping through the back woods 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 lying on the floor 

In a puddle of blood and he started to shake 

The 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 

"Why'd you do it?"

The judge said guilty on a make-believe trial 

Slapped the sherriff on the back with a smile 

Said supper's waiting at home and I gotta get to it 

That's the night the lights went out in Georgia 

That's the night that they hung an innocent man 

Don't trust your soul to no back woods Southern lawyer 

Cause 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 

That's one body that'll never be found 

You see little sister don't miss when she aims her gun 

That's the night the lights went out in Georgia 

That's the night that they hung an innocent man 

Don't trust your soul to no back woods Southern lawyer 

Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hand 

That's the night the lights went out in Georgia 

That's the night that they hung an innocent man 

Don't trust your soul to no back woods Southern lawyer 

Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hand
