The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia (格鲁吉亚灯火熄灭之夜) - James Last (詹姆斯·拉斯特)[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[00:00:17]
For he went home to her[00:00:20]
Andy Wo Lo said hello[00:00:24]
He said hi what's new[00:00:26]
And Wo said sit down[00:00:28]
I got some bad news that's gonna hurt[00:00:30]
Said I'm your best friend and you know that's right[00:00:34]
But your young bride ain't home tonight[00:00:37]
Since you been gone she's been seeing that Amos boy Seth[00:00:40]
Now he got mad and he saw red[00:00:46]
Andy said boy don't you lose your head[00:00:48]
'Cause to tell you the truth I've been with her myself[00:00:51]
That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia[00:00:57]
That's the night that they hung an innocent man[00:01:03]
Well don't trust your soul to no back woods Southern lawyer[00:01:08]
'Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands[00:01:13]
Andy got scared and left the bar[00:01:19]
Walking on home 'cause he didn't live far you see[00:01:22]
Andy didn't have many friends and he just lost him one[00:01:25]
Brother thought his wife must've left town[00:01:30]
So he went home and finally found the only thing[00:01:33]
Daddy had left him and that was a gun[00:01:37]
He went off to Andy's house[00:01:41]
Slipping through the back woods quiet as a mouse[00:01:44]
Came upon some tracks too small for Andy to make[00:01:47]
He looked through the screen at the back porch door[00:01:53]
And he saw Andy lying on the floor[00:01:56]
In a puddle of blood and he started to shake[00:01:58]
The Georgia patrol was making their rounds[00:02:04]
So he fired a shot just to flag 'em down[00:02:07]
A big bellied sheriff grabbed his gun and said[00:02:10]
Why'd you do it[00:02:12]
The judge said guilty on a make believe trial[00:02:15]
Slapped the sherriff on the back with a smile[00:02:18]
Said supper's waiting at home and I gotta get to it[00:02:21]
That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia[00:02:27]
That's the night that they hung an innocent man[00:02:33]
Well don't trust your soul to no back woods Southern lawyer[00:02:38]
'Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands[00:02:43]
Well they hung my brother before I could say[00:02:49]
The tracks he saw while on his way[00:02:51]
To Andy's house and back that night were mine[00:02:54]
And his cheatin wife had never left town[00:03:00]
That's one body that'll never be found[00:03:03]
You see little sister don't miss when she aims her gun[00:03:06]
That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia[00:03:12]
That's the night that they hung an innocent man[00:03:17]
Well don't trust your soul to no back woods Southern lawyer[00:03:22]
'Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hand[00:03:28]
That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia[00:03:34]
That's the night that they hung an innocent man[00:03:39]
