The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia (Revived) Lyrics


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 gonna hurt"


Now "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 seein' that Amos boy, Seth"

Now he got mad and he saw red

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

So don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer

'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

Brother thought his wife must have left town

He went home and finally found

The only thing Daddy had left him, and that was a gun


So 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


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?"


The judge said guilty on a make-believe trial

Slapped the sheriff on the back with a smile

He said, "Supper's waiting 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

So don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer

'Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands


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

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


That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia

That's the night that they hung an innocent man

So don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer

'Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands

That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia

That's the night that they hung an innocent man

So don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer

'Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands

Seven Minutes in Heaven

I wouldn't ask Cash why he wore all-black, Or have Elvis sing me a song, I wouldn't ask why Kennedy died, 'Cause I know that I wouldn't have long, I wouldn't small talk with Peter about those pearly gates, I'd ask him to let me on in, And I'd say somebody's waitin' on the other side, That I'd really…

Fancy (Revisited)

I remember it all very well looking back, It was the summer I turned eighteen, We lived in a one-room, rundown shack, On the outskirts of New Orleans, We didn't have money for food or rent, To say the least, we were hard pressed, Then mama spent every last penny we had, To buy me a dancing dress, We…

I’m a Survivor (Revisited)

I was born three months too early, The doctor gave me thirty days, But I must have had my momma's will, And God's amazing grace, I guess I'll keep on living, Even if this love's to die for, Cos your bags are packed and I ain't crying, You're walking out and I'm not trying to change your mind, Cos I …

Does He Love You (Revisited) feat. Dolly Parton

I've known about you for a while now, When he leaves me he wears a smile now, As soon as he's away from me, In your arms is where he wants to be, But you're the one he rushes home to, You're the one he gave his name to, I never see his face in the early morning light, You have his mornings, his dayt…

If You See Him, If You See Her feat. Brooks & Dunn

If you see him, Tell him I wish him well, How am I doin'?, Well, sometimes it's hard to tell, I still miss him more than ever, But please don't say a word, If you see him, Oh, if you see him, If you see her, Tell her I'm doin' fine, And if you want to, Say that I think of her from time to time, Ask …
