It’s amazing that Lawrence spent 11 years on a top-rated TV show, but most people I know would never peg Vicki Lawrence (or Mama ) as the singer of The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia. Perhaps that’s because it was the pre-MTV and YouTube eras and I had never seen video of Lawrence singing the song. Certainly I never saw her sing The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia on an episode of the Carol Burnett show, and I think I saw nearly all of them through re-runs in the 1970s and early 1980s. But as the song reveals, it’s the singer of the song who did the killing. Or as she puts it: 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 And that’s one body that’ll never be found See, little sister don’t miss when she aims her gun. Lovely redneck sentiment there.
