Am OPEN
He was on his way home from Candletop
BCeen two weeks gone and he thoDught he stop
at WCeb's and have him a drEmink 'for he went home to Amher
Am OPEN
Andy Wo-Lo said hello
he said 'CHi, what's a dDoing', Wo
said sCit down, I got some Embad news that's gonna Amhurt.
Am OPEN
Said I'm you best friend and you know that's right
But yCour young bride ain't hDome tonight
SiCnce you've been gone she's been sEmeeing that Amos boy, AmSeth
Am OPEN
He got mad and he saw red
ACndy said, Boy, don't you lDose your head
Cause to tCell you the truth, EmI've been with her Ammyself
TAhat's the night that the liBghts went out in GEeorgia
TAhat's the night that they hBung an innocent mEan
DAon't trust your soul to no bBackwoods Southern Elawyer
Cause the jAudge in the town's got bBlood stains on his Emhands
Am OPEN
Andy got scared and he left the bar
WCalking on home cause he dDidn't live far
You sCee, Andy didn't have many fEmriends and he just lost him Amone
Am OPEN
Brother thought his wife must've left town
So he wCent home and fiDnally found
the oCnly thing Daddy lEmeft him and that was a Amgun
Am OPEN
He went off to Andy's house
SClipping through the woods as quDiet as a mouse
CCome upon some trEmacks too small for Andy to Ammake
Am OPEN
He looked through the screen at the back porch door
CHe saw Andy lDying on the floor
In a pCuddle of blood, Emand he started to sAmhake.
The GAeorgia Patrol was mBaking their rounds
so he fEired a shot just to fElag them down
A Abig bellied sheriff grabbed his gBun and said,
Why'd you Emdo it?
Am OPEN
They hung my brother before I could say
the trCacks he saw while oDn this way
to ACndy's house and bEmack that night were Ammine
Am OPEN
And his cheatin' wife had never left town
TChat's one body that'll nDever be found
You Csee, little sister don't Emmiss when she aims her Amgun
TAhat's the night that the liBghts went out in GEeorgia
TAhat's the night that they hBung an innocent mEan
DAon't trust your soul to no bBackwoods Southern Elawyer
Cause the jAudge in the town's got bBlood stains on his Ehands.
