    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
