Answer 1

"The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" has a line about that. It's by Reba McEntire, a Country singer. In the sources section, I have linked to the CD where you can find it.

The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia

He was on his way home from Candletop
Been two weeks gone and he thought he'd stop
At Web's and have 'im a drink 'fore he went home to her


Andy Wo-Lo said hello
He said, hi what's a doin'
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 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


CHORUS:
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 backwood's southern lawyer
'Cause the judge in 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
You see, Andy didn't have many friends and he just lost him one


Brother thought his wife must've left town
So he went home and finally found
The only thing Daddy'd left him, and that was a gun


He went off to Andy's house
Slippin' through the back woods 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 lyin' on the floor
In a puddle of blood, and he started to shake


BRIDGE:
The Georgia patrol was-a makin' 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 and I gotta get to it


CHORUS


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 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 gun


CHORUS 2X
