      Spooked Kitty Actually, when a song is #1 and you are alive to hear it first, it makes a much bigger impression on you. Hearing a cover or remake 20 years later is not the same. If someone else came out with a cover of "Macarena" or "Gangnam Style" or "Blurred Lines" in a couple years would you think of the new version more or the one you first heard?

      Matt Bushey - Because that means even less people would be willing to marry (the rate of people getting married is lower than ever) and you'll be putting a lot of innocent people in jail. You really want to put someone in jail for cheating with people in jail for murder, rape, drugs, etc.? That's insane.

      Fraya1022 -What's insane is that u think they should go unpunished and are innocent??? there no better then a rapist and are a key problem in our world, because they have the same sociopathic mentality and do not have a touch with reality or right and wrong.Now for the marriage part if u have a kid out of wedlock u should have to become married to the father or the state takes ur chilled and both the guy and girl loose their reproductive rights, and that's because the child will be better off in a nuclear family as opposed to a broken one, and once u have a child nothing in life is about u anymore but if it is your not a very good mom or dad maybe not even a value to the world at all and the child will most likely grow up to be another problem for society if they stay in your care.

    The funny thing about the video is that it mentioned Andy being [Reba's character]'s fiance, which isn't in the actual song and makes several things a LOT clearer. It always bugged me that the second victim was Andy rather than "that Amos boy Seth" - even if Andy was supposedly the brother's friend, I couldn't understand why 'Reba' chose him to die too. But if they were supposed to be married, and both he and the cheating wife died at the same time (I always thought they were two separate attacks), the motive makes much more sense. And the fact that the judge was also having an affair with the wife; I just figured both he and the sheriff were lazy / uninterested in digging deeper in an 'obvious' case.
    Yes, I looked for a coherent narrative in country songs as a kid. I was weird.

      Brother finds out his wife slept with his friend Andy and Seth Amos. Angry, he goes and gets his gun to kill Andy. Little does he know his little sister Reba has already killed Andy and her brothers wife, whom had slept with Andy, Seth, the judge, and Rebas fiance(who was not andy). The judge wanted a guilty verdict asap so it didn't come to light that he had an affair with the woman.

      Blake Meche Seth being the fiance of Andys sister doesn't give here motive to kill Andy or her brothers wife more than Andy actually being her husband. Cheating husband and brothers wife murdered by angry Wife and Sister makes more sense.

I can't pick just one artist as a favorite because there were too many awesome artists out when I was young. But I guess my 2 favs would be Reba and The Judds. I learned to sing by listening to them all, but those 2 I had to get perfect. If inward able to sing with Reba on stage or just messing around I would be the happiest woman in the world. There's not many of her songs I don't kmow. I love u Reba and thank u for being such a passionate artist

    The stainless steel Smith & Wesson Model 67 revolver in this video wasn't invented until 1972. Which is interesting because this song was originally written in 1972, then this music video was released in 1992.
    They should have used a single action Colt, since it was left to her brother by their father thus it would have been an older pistol. Supposedly this story takes place in the 1920s as she confessed "40 years later" in 1962. A Smith & Wesson Model 1899 would have been a good choice as well.

Lawrence's version, from her 1973 album of the same name, went to number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart after its release. Of several cover versions, the one recorded by Reba McEntire for her 1991 album For My Broken Heart peaked at number 12 on the Hot Country Songs chart.

    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 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
    Well, don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
    Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands
    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 had left him and that was a gun
    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 lyin' on the floor
    In a puddle of blood and he started to shake
    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
    Said supper's waitin' at home and I gotta get to it
    That's the night 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
    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
    That's the night 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
    That's the night the lights went out in Georgia

This could happen in any small town America. I feel there are more guilty people convicted than innocent people, however the line "Cuz the judge in the towns got bloodstains on his hands" hits hard because there are many a people that are failed by the lack of help that they recieve from them and the only thing they are guilty of is asking for help in first place. 😢

She is both beautiful inside and out. The third thing is we both share the same birthday and birth year. It may sound a bit bias but that's okay. She is sure one great country girl.

      Her fiance was sleeping with her brother Raymond's wife, so when she found out she shot both the wife and her fiance. Raymond was coming home from away when he learned from the bartender that his wife was sleeping with everybody in town, including the bartender. Raymond walked home in grief, and he walked in on Reba killing the two lovers. He took the blame, and when Reba tried to protest the judge sentenced Raymond anyways because the judge was trying to cover up his own involvement with Raymond's wife
      Edit: at least, that's the full plot of the music video. The song lyrics imply that Raymond (who is unnamed) was creeping up to kill a man named Seth Amos when he discovered that his sister had already killed them both.

    Amazing song....This is why I like country music. I thought I understood the song perfectly before I saw the video....and it threw it in a whole new direction......Nice story telling
