OMg, what a terrible incident. I think it was during the civil war, no electricity yet and there may have been a shortage of fuel. I think there were tensions with the middle east and the trade embargo was on or something like that. They tried to blame it on Hitler or Stalin but since they weren't even born yet, it is doubtful they had anything to do with it.

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 a doing"
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 Seth
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 the lights went out in Georgia
That's the night that they hung an innocent man
Don't trust your soul to no back woods Southern lawyer
Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hand
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've left town
So he went home and finally found the only thing
Daddy had left him and that was a gun
He went off to Andy's house
Slipping 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
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
And a big bellied sheriff grabbed his gun and said
"Why'd you do it?"
The judge said guilty in a make believe trial
Slapped the sheriff on the back with a smile and said
"suppers waiting at home and i got to get to it"
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
And that's one body that'll be found
You see little sister don't miss when she aims her gun
So you see the reason why the lights went out in Georgia; The locals went on the rampage when they found out that the Georgia patrol had arrested the wrong man.

'cause they electrocuted an innocent man. Apperently Georgia at the time was not well enough equipped to handle such a power surge.
