(Bobby Russell)
2
He was on his way home from Candletop
3
Been two weeks gone and he thought he'd stop
4
At Web's and have him a drink for he went home to her
5
Andy Wo-Lo said hello
6
He said "Hi what's a doing"
7
Wo said "Sit down I got some bad news that's gonna hurt"
8
Said I'm your best friend and you know that's right
9
But your young bride ain't home tonight
10
Since you been gone she's been seeing that Amos boy Seth
11
He got mad and he saw red
12
Andy said boy don't you lose your head
13
Cause to tell you the truth I've been with her myself
14
Chorus:
15
That's the night the lights went out in Georgia
16
That's the night that they hung an innocent man
17
Don't trust your soul to no back woods Southern lawyer
18
Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hand
19
Andy got scared and left the bar
20
Walking on home cause he didn't live far you see
21
Andy didn't have many friends and he just lost him one
22
Brother thought his wife must've left town
23
So he went home and finally found the only thing
24
Daddy had left him and that was a gun
25
He went off to Andy's house
26
Slipping through the back woods quiet as a mouse
27
Came upon some tracks too small for Andy to make
28
He looked through the screen at the back porch door
29
He saw Andy lying on the floor
30
In a puddle of blood and he started to shake
31
The Georgia patrol was making their rounds
32
So he fired a shot just to flag em down
33
And a big bellied sheriff grabbed his gun and said
34
"Why'd you do it?"
35
Chorus
36
They hung my brother before I could say
37
The tracks he saw while on his way
38
To Andy's house and back that night were mine
39
And his cheatin wife had never left town
40
And that's one body that'll be found
41
You see little sister don't miss when she aims her gun
42
Repeat Chorus twice
