The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia - Ray Conniff[00:00:00]
He was on his way home from candletop[00:00:12]
Been two weeks gone and he thought he'd stop[00:00:15]
At Web's and have him a drink[00:00:18]
For he went home to her[00:00:20]
Andy Wo-Lo said hello[00:00:25]
He said hi what's new[00:00:27]
And Wo said sit down[00:00:29]
I got some bad news that's gonna hurt[00:00:31]
Said I'm your best friend and you know that's right[00:00:36]
But your young bride ain't home tonight[00:00:39]
Since you been gone[00:00:42]
She's been seeing that amos boy seth[00:00:43]
He got mad and he saw red[00:00:48]
Andy said boy don't you lose your head[00:00:51]
Cause to tell you the truth[00:00:53]
I've been with myself[00:00:55]
That's the night the lights went out in georgia[00:01:00]
That's the night that they hung an innocent man[00:01:06]
Don't trust your soul to no back woods southern lawyer[00:01:11]
Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hand[00:01:17]
Well Andy got scared and left the bar[00:01:23]
Walking on home cause he didn't live far see[00:01:26]
Andy didn't have many friends[00:01:29]
And he just lost him one[00:01:30]
Brother thought his wife must've left town[00:01:35]
So he went home and finally found the only thing[00:01:37]
Papa had left him and that was a gun[00:01:41]
He went off to Andy's house[00:01:46]
Slipping through the back woods quiet as a mouse[00:01:49]
Came upon some tracks too small for andy to make[00:01:52]
He looked through the screen at the back porch door[00:01:58]
And he saw Andy lying on the floor[00:02:01]
In a puddle of blood and he started to shake[00:02:04]
Now the georgia patrol was making their rounds[00:02:09]
And he fired a shot just to flag'em down[00:02:12]
And the big bellied sheriff grabbed his gun and said[00:02:15]
Why'd you do it[00:02:18]
Well the judge said guilty on a make believe trial[00:02:21]
Slapped the sheriff on the back with a smile[00:02:24]
Said supper's waiting at home and I gotta get to it[00:02:27]
That's the night the lights went out in georgia[00:02:34]
That's the night that they hung an innocent man[00:02:39]
Don't trust your soul to no back woods southern lawyer[00:02:44]
Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands[00:02:50]
Well they hung my brother before I could say[00:02:56]
The tracks he saw while on his way[00:02:59]
To Andy's house and back that night were mine[00:03:02]
And his cheating wife had never left town[00:03:08]
And that's one body that'll never be found[00:03:11]
You see little sister don't miss when she aims her gun[00:03:14]
That's the night the lights went out in Georgia[00:03:20]
That's the night that they hung an innocent man[00:03:26]
Don't trust your soul to no back woods Southern lawyer[00:03:31]
Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hand[00:03:37]
That's the night the lights went out in Georgia[00:03:43]
That's the night that they hung an innocent man[00:03:49]
Don't trust your soul to no back woods Southern lawyer[00:03:54]
