Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia Lynn Anderson

On his way his way home from Candletop
Been two weeks gone
And he thought he'd stop
At Webb’s and have him a drink 'fore he went home to her

Andy Wolo said hello
He said, "Hi, what's a doin’ Wo"
Says 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 seein' that Amos boy Seth

He got mad and he saw red
And Andy said boy don't you lose your head
Cause to tell you the truth
I’ve been with her myself

That’s the night that the lights went out in Georgia
That's the night that they hung an innocent man
Don’t you trust your soul
To no backwoods southern lawyer
Cause the judge and the town's got bloodstains on his hands
