Karaoke Track: The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia by Reba McEntire (Pocket Songs) - Karaoke Nerds

The N ight The Lights
W ent Out In Georgia

Woxds and Musxc by
8 Russell

Been two weeks gone
And he thought

He'd stop at Webb's
And have him a drink

Andy Wo-Lo
Said Hello,

And he said,
Hi, what's doin'?

Wo said, Sit down,
I got some bad news,

It's gonna hurt

Said, I'm
Your best friend and

You know that's right,

That's the night
That the lights

Went out in Georgia,

Well, don't trust
Yoursoul

To no backwoods
Southern lawyer,

'Cause the judge
In the town's

Got bloodstains
On his hands

Well, Andy got scared
And left the bar,

Walking on home
'Cause he didn't live far

You see, Andy didn't
Have many friends

Brother thought his
Wife must've left town,

So he went home
And finally found

He went off
To Andy's house,

Came upon some
Tracks too small

For Andy to make

He saw Andy lying
On the floor in a

Puddle of blood and
He started to shake

The Georgia patrol
Was making

Their rounds,

And a big-bellied
Sheriff grabbed his

Gun and said
Why'd you do it?

The judge said Guilty
In a make-believe trial,

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
Yoursoul

To no backwoods
Southern lawyer,

'Cause the judge
In the town's

Got bloodstains
On his hands

The tracks they saw
While on his way to

Andy's house and back
That night were mine

And his cheatin' wife
Had never left town,

But 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
That the lights

Went out in Georgia,

That's the night
That they hung

An innocent man

Well, don't trust
Yoursoul

To no backwoods
Southern lawyer,

'Cause the judge
In the town's

Got bloodstains
On his hands

Yeah, 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
Yoursoul

To no backwoods
Southern lawyer,

'Cause the judge
In the town's

Got bloodstains
On his hands
