They're Hanging Me Tonight

When I hear the rain a comin' down it makes me sad and blue

Was on a rainy night like this that

Flo said we were through

I told her how

I loved her, and

I begged her not to go

But another man had changed her mind so

I said goodbye to

FloAlone within my cell tonight my heart is filled with fear

The only sound within the room is the falling of each tear

I think about the thing

I've done,

I know it wasn't right

They'll bury

Flo tomorrow, but they're hanging me tonight

They're hanging me tonight

That night he came and took my

Flo and headed in to town

I knew I had to find this man and try to gun him down

As I walked by a dim cafe and

I looked through the door

I saw my Flo with her new love and

I couldn't stand no more

I couldn't stand no more

I took my pistol from my hip and with a trembling hand

I took the life of pretty

Flo and that good for nothin' man

That good for nothin' man

I think about the thing

I've done

I know it wasn't right

They'll bury

Flo tomorrow, but they're hanging me tonight

They're hanging me tonight
