Letra de The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia (Acoustic Version)
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 for 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" 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 seeing that Amos boy, SethNow, 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 myselfThat'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 handsWell, Andy got scared and left the bar Walkin' on home 'cause he didn't live far, you see Andy didn't have many friends, he just lost him one Brother thought his wife must've 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 makeHe looked through the screen on the back porch door He saw Andy lyin' on the floor In a puddle of blood and he started to shake Well, 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 And said, supper's waitin' at home, I gotta get to itThat's the night 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 handsThey hung my brother before I could say Tracks he saw while on his way To Andy's house and 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 gunThat's the night 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 handsThat's the night the lights went out in Georgia That's the night that they hung an innocent man, huh So don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer 'Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands Oh, no
