�at Web's and have him a drink 'fore he went home to her
Andy Wo-Lo said �Hello.� He said �Hi, what's a doing Wo?�
He said ��sit down, I�ve got some bad news, it�s going to hurt.�
He said �I'm you best friend and you know that's right.
�but your young bride ain't home tonight.
Since you've been gone she's been seeing that Amos boy, Seth.�
Well 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 Gm7 C F7
That's the night that they hung an innocent man Gm7 C F7
Well don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
Gm7 C Fm
��cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands
Well Andy got scared and left the bar
Walking on home �cause he didn't live far
You see, Andy didn't have many friends and he just lost him one
My brother thought his wife must've left town
So he went home and finally found
The only thing Papa left him, and that, was a gun
Then he went off to Andy's house

Slipping through the back woods as quiet as a mouse
�and came upon some tracks too small for Andy to make
He looked through the screen at the back porch door
�and he saw Andy lying on the floor
n a puddle of blood, and he started to shake
Well 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 �Why'd you do it?�
�and a judge said �guilty� in a make-believe trial
�and slapped the sheriff on the back with a smile
�and said �Supper�s waiting at home and I�ve got to get to it.�
That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia
That's the night that they hung an innocent man
Well don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
��cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands
Well they hung my brother before I could say
The tracks he saw while on this way
To Andy's house in back that night were mine
,,,and his cheatin' wife, had never left town
That's one body that'll never be found
You see, little sister don't miss when she aims her gun
That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia
That's the night that they hung an innocent man
Well don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
��cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands
