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.

Well Andy got scared and left the bar
Walkin' on home cause he didn't live far
See Andy didn't have many friends and had just lost him one
My brother thought his wife must've left town
So he went home and finally found
The only thing papa had left up was a gun.

Then he went off to Andy's house
Slippin' through the backwoods quiet as a mouse
Came upon some tracks too small for Andy to make
He looked through the screen at the backporch door
And he saw Andy lyin' on the floor
in a puddle of blood and he started to shake.

But Georgia patrol was makin' their rounds
And 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 sheriff on the back with a smile
Said supper's waitin' at home and I gotta get to it.

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.

Well, they hung my brother before I could say
The tracks he saw while on his way
To Andy's house out back that night were mine
His cheatin' wife had never left town
That's one body that'll never be found
See little sister don't miss when she gets her gun.

Oh, 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.

Oh, 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...


Mirror lyrics:

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

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

See little sister don't miss when she gets her gun.
That's one body that'll never be found
His cheatin' wife had never left town
To Andy's house out back that night were mine
The tracks he saw while on his way
Well, they hung my brother before I could say

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

Said supper's waitin' at home and I gotta get to it.
Slapped the sheriff on the back with a smile
The judge said guilty in a make believe trial
And a big bellied sheriff grabbed his gun and said why'd you do it
And he fired a shot just to flag 'em down
But Georgia patrol was makin' their rounds
