Lynn Anderson - Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia слова песни

(Bobby Russell)

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...
