He was on his way home
from Candletop

Been two weeks gone

and he thought he'd stop
Said I'm your best friend
and you know that's right
But your young bride
ain't home tonight
That's the night the lights

went out in Georgia
That's the night that they

hung an innocent man
He went off to Andy's

house slipping through
the back woods

quiet as a mouse
The Georgia patrol was
making their rounds

So he fired a shot

just to flag 'em down
That's the night the lights

went out in Georgia
That's the night that they

hung an innocent man
That's the night the lights

went out in Georgia
That's the night that they

hung an innocent man
That's the night that they

hung an innocent man
That's the night the lights

went out in Georgia
That's the night that they

hung an innocent man
'Cause the judge

in the town's
Got bloodstains

on his hands
