He was on his way home
From Candlefop
Been 1WD weeks gone and
He 1houghf he'd stop
A1 Web's and have him

A drink 'fore he went home

To her
Andy Wo-Io said hello
He said, hi, what's doing?

We said, sit down I got
Some bad news

Thafs gon no hurt
Said, I'm your best friend
And you know ihafs right
But your young bride
Ain't home to nig hf
Since you been gone
She's been seeing that

Amos boy Seth
Now he got mad
And he saw red
Andy said, I'boy

Don't you lose your head
'Cause to fell you he frufh
I've been wiih her myself
Thafs the night that

The lights went out
In Georgia
Thafs the nig hf that they
Hung an innocent man
We, don't trust your soul
To no back-woods
Southern lawyer
'Cause he iudge in

The town's got bloodsfains
On his hand

We, Andy got scared and
Left 1he bar
Walkin' on home 'cause
He did n'f live far

You see Andy did n'f have
Ma ny friends and he iusf

Lost him one
So he went home and
Finally found the only

Thing daddy had left him
And that was a gun
He went 0H 10

Andy's house

Slippin' through the
Back woods quiet as
A mouse
Came upon some tracks

Too small for Andy
To make
And he saw Andy lyin'
On the floor in a puddle

Of blood
And he started to shake
The Georgia patrol was
Ma kin' 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 if?

The iudge said, guiHy on

A ma ke- believe irial
Slapped 1he sheriff on
The back wiih a smile and
Said, supper's waiiin'

At home and I got

Get to if'
Thafs the night that

The lights went out
In Georgia
Thafs the nig hf that they
Hung an innocent man
We, don't trust your soul
To no back-woods
Southern lawyer
'Cause the judge in

The towns got bloodsfains

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 ihafs one body ihaf'

Never be found

You see, IiHIe sisier

Don't miss when she aims
Her gun
Thafs the night that
The lights went out
In Georgia

Thafs 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 bloodsfains

On his hands
Thafs the night that
The lights went out
In Georgia

Thafs 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 bloodsfains

On his hands
