  S1:
  He was on his way home from Candletop 

  Been two weeks gone and he thought he'd stop 

  At Web's and have him a drink  

  'Fore he went home to her 

  Andy Wo-Lo said hello 

  He said, "Hi, what's new?" 

  And Wo said, "Sit down I got some bad news 

  That's going to hurt"

  S2:
  Said, "I'm your 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" 

  Now he got mad and he saw red 

  Andy said, "Boy, don't you lose your head 

  Because to tell you the truth 

  I've been with her myself"

  R1:
  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

  S3:
  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 

  Brother thought his wife must have left town 

  So he went home and finally found 

  The only thing Daddy had left him 

  And that was a gun

  S4:
  He went off to Andy's house 

  Slipping through the backwoods quiet as a mouse 

  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 

  In a puddle of blood 

  And he started to shake

  R2:
  The Georgia patrol was making their rounds 

  So he fired a shot, just to flag 'em down 

  A big-bellied sheriff grabbed his gun and said 

  "Why'd you do it?"
• AmiGAmiDAmiEmiAmi
  S5:
  The judge said "guilty" on a make-believe trial 

  Slapped the sheriff on the back with a smile 

  Said, "Supper's waiting at home 

  And I got to get to it"

  S6:
  Well, they hung my brother before I could say 

  The tracks he saw while on his way 

  To Andy's house 

  And back that night were mine 

  And his cheating 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
