The original song had been sung by Vicki Lawrence in 1973, I believe. You should check that out now!

Reba is one of those rare gems in music. She was able to tell you a complete engrossing story in a 5 to 6 min song. There ain't to many of those out there.

[@doctorwhofan1989]

Rare breed. You're right about that.

[@SWLinPHX]

Well it's not her song. This was #1 back in 1973.

[@galenmarek5355]

SWLinPHX you may be right, but most people will associate it with Reba, seeing is that she made it almost like a mini movie.

[@janedoe3209]

Spooked Kitty idk i kinda always thought of vicki lawrence

[@SWLinPHX]

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?

[@evernevermore-ci2so]

The twist in the end of this song is just awesome. "Little sister don't miss when she aims her gun." Even though this song wasn't originally Reba's, hers is the best version in my opinion.

[@user-jf7ts1np5j]

She made it hers with this video. You don't hear the lights went out in Georgia, and not think of Reba

That face Reba makes at the very end of the video: pause it at 4:10...look at that face for five seconds. That face is one of anger, rage and no guilt whatsoever. In a word: CHILLING.

[@ashleightancrell]

Saw that. I wondered how long she was able to hold it. Kept waiting for her to crack. haha.

[@mattbushey8323]

why would she have guilt her loser fiancee and her brother's cheating wife where in bed together she did the world a favor, and adultery should be a capital crime because if u can't be true to your spouse what kinda kids are u going to raise and what good contribution are u making in the world as we look at the stay's and 70% of inmates come from broken homes if we solve these issue where they start then we lower crime preserve culture and solve many problems in our society

[@torylivingston]

I think what he meant by 'guilt' is the fact that her brother took the blame for the murders and subsequently ended up at the end of a hangman's noose.

[@fraya1022]

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.

[@mattbushey8323]

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.

This song was originally done by Vicki Lawrence (from Carol Burnett),(released in 1973).It was written by her then husband Bobby Russel

[@heymikey4025]

Wow…Vicki has probably has gotten a helluvva lot of royalties out of this song… similar to how Dolly Parton wrote one of Whitney Houston’s best songs “I Will Always Love You” and I believe that Dolly made a fortune from Whitney singing it…

It's kinda cool to listen to the 3 different versions and hear it evolve!

[@RuneTraverse]

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.

[@jennbuck7374]

+RuneTraverse I have been listening to this song for 20+ years, and this is the first day I realised the fiance thing. Complete game changer.

[@Knutterbife]

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.

[@eljahsiemallah]

RuneTraverse Thats not weird. That called making sense of something and your right that part was the missing puzzle to this song to me too.

[@eljahsiemallah]

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.

This story ain’t wrong While yes your older siblings will take any blame for us younger siblings But when comes to messing with our older siblings us little sisters and Brothers We won’t miss when it comes to our siblings That’s a promise

[@cathyaudette1060]

Indeed! I have just one older sibling, my brother. I would die for him.

[@cindyaaron1366]

It is about par for that area.

This was the best concert. The customs changes were beautiful. And Reba was wonderful!

[@rebamcentire1503]

Wow thanks for the comments and I really appreciate your love fan 🥰🙏 merry Christmas 🎄

This is a great example of Country music done perfectly. 2021 Country artists needs to wake up.

[@larrybill2661]

Hello Tim how are you doing!!

[@paulthompkins4150]

This song sends chills down my spine when I hear it. It's crazy how all the BEST songs with states in them are the ones about Georgia!

[@SunflowerChild82]

Because the South is the best!

[@donotneed2250]

Sweet Home Alabama does not fall into the category?

[@AnglicanPolack]

I take it that you've never heard "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald?"

[@frangiscucustanza3442]

@@SunflowerChild82 yea you couldn't prove that by me. I mean it's dry land on the earth, but it ain't no utopia by any means. in fact there are solid arguments that might suggest the opposite conclusion of your statement. Realizing sentimentality I won't disparage your remark. instead I'll introduce a far flung, radical, Yankee assertion that.... maybe not so much.

[@cheetahpurrfect121]

Debuted by Vicki Lawrence in '73 on The Carol Burnett Show. Written by her husband. Smash back then. Still great

[@OfficialBabyAceXP]

This should be made into a full length movie❤ I would definitely watch it! I

[@girly359]

[@73rosannachristopher]

I love this song in so many ways. I grew up in Georgia and my Brothers were my everything growing up. My oldest Brothers name is Raymond. And there isn't anything I wouldn't do for either of my Brothers! I love you Reba!!

[@lauriejohnson2247]

One of my favorites by Reba...Reba has a unique way of telling a story in her songs with body language and facial expressions...she's beautiful inside and out and so very talented...that's why she is such a good actress...Reba doesn't have to try or put much effort to singing or acting...she is a natural...love you Reba...

[@thhomasmarks]

we have Bobbie Gentry who deserves much thank for that

[@misssyl4321]

It’s amazing…. How she knew how to sing this song…… it still takes me by surprise……….. Lord have mercy….🙏🏻

[@ShadowsGathered]

Maybe she took a cue from the original recording by Vicki Lawrence in 1972.

[@Tommywanye]

Hello dear how are you doing? I wish you a great day

[@callanightshade8079]

I love how they gave Reba and old lady makeover rather than getting an older lady for that part lol. Making it look more realistic that way to me

[@imeldablanco6685]

My momma loved this song,she loved country, i remember when i was a little girl , hearing this song play from her room,if only i can see her one more time,i wanna be in her arms,i jus wanna say i love you momma~ always your little honey

[@florenceshuler5889]

I really love Reba. She is my favorite country singer. I don't love all her songs but I love her.

[@larrybill2661]

Hello Florence how are you doing!!

[@bm4114]

Been loving this song for years and still can’t tell you the plot. All I know is that its the night when the lights went out in Georgia and that’s all that matters. It’s like a Bible verse, who knows what’s going on but we repeat them anyway

[@boonsaplenty3924]

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.

[@kingyjesta1785]

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 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 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

[@battlecross8540]

We Love You Reba.

[@researchersnews1056]

I have always loved this song. I can't remember the original artist, but Reba does this even better. This is the only video interpretation of it I've watched. It is incredible. Reba looks stunning. She was pretty and cute in the early 80's. But she is so gorgeous now. She radiates good energy that comes through in her music and videos.

[@scottfrazerful]

The original artist was Vicki Lawrence from the Carol Burnett Show.

[@thhomasmarks]

Who else but Bobbie Gentry.... it was a crossover hit way back in 1969... I was just a wee little country boy growing up in Alabama

[@mathewmara2184]

Back when country music made you feel it. You had no choice; the imagery, the writing, and the vocals all come together to controll 3 of the 5 senses and take you for the trip.

[@thhomasmarks]

Its definitely a trip

[@codykennedy5511]

I grew up in the georgia woods, my granddad (i call him pawpaw) took care of me, and taught me to be a welder and carpenter, I miss being a kid and working in his shop to this music. Now I live in oklahoma and thanks to my granddad I have a life.

[@brockcureton2989]

AMEN

[@EveryDayGamerElite]

Reba is amazing. Honestly, I don't know if there is a better artist. Many tell stories but not like Reba..

[@Spud101]

I love the way Vicki Lawrence sings this, I been listening to it since my mom introduced me to it. I absolutely love Reba and how she took this song & ran with it. In results Reba made a music video that brings more life to the song. I got Vicki on my iTunes & Reba in my playlist, best of both worlds.

[@cathrynjones4682]

Here from the Murdaugh saga in the SC low country! This song still hits hard today as it did years ago!!

[@RC-mc6pu]

Omg. Thats what came to mind. Lol

[@TxAmber78]

Reba's version of this is by far the best. So chilling and haunting

[@prettypastry1]

Yes, Reba, please, a Movie!!!!

[@dannyhuffman]

Hi Dorinda hope you’re okay??

[@blugreen123]

She was the first country artist to produce truly epic music videos. Legend.

[@marswmnwhoever2188]

Alls I know that I used to sing this song at the top of mylungs word for word, as a little girl. Now as a grown woman I canr believe how dark this song is. 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. 😢

[@chipblock2854]

Three things about Reba I just love. First her voice and talent! I could listen to her till all lights went out in the world. Second, is her beauty. No doubt about it. 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. My dream is to meet her one day. I probably would't be able to talk her because I wouldn't believe who standing in front if me.
