  • (bobby russell)
  • He was on his way home from candletop
  • Been two weeks gone and he thought hed stop
  • At webs and have him a drink for he went home to her
  • Andy wo-lo said hello
  • He said hi whats a doing
  • Wo said sit down I got some bad news thats gonna hurt
  • Said Im your best friend and you know thats right
  • But your young bride aint home tonight
  • Since you been gone shes been seeing that amos boy seth
  • He got mad and he saw red
  • Andy said boy dont you lose your head
  • Cause to tell you the truth Ive been with her myself
  • Chorus:
  • Thats the night the lights went out in georgia
  • Thats the night that they hung an innocent man
  • Dont trust your soul to no back woods southern lawyer
  • Cause the judge in the towns got bloodstains on his hand
  • Andy got scared and left the bar
  • Walking on home cause he didnt live far you see
  • Andy didnt have many friends and he just lost him one
  • Brother thought his wife mustve 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 andys 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
  • 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
  • And a big bellied sheriff grabbed his gun and said
  • Whyd you do it?
  • The judge said guilty in a make believe trial
  • Slapped the sherrif on the back with a smile and said
  • Suppers waiting at home and I got to get to it
  • Chorus
  • They hung my brother before I could say
  • The tracks he saw while on his way
  • To andys house and back that night were mine
  • And his cheatin wife had never left town
  • And thats one body thatll be found
  • You see little sister dont miss when she aims her gun
  • Repeat chorus twice
