  • (bobby russell)
    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 a doing'
    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
    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
    Chorus:
    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
    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
    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
    'why'd 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 andy's house and back that night were mine
    And his cheatin wife had never left town
    And that's one body that'll be found
    You see little sister don't miss when she aims her gun
    Repeat chorus twice
